First off: you can't.
Call it via command line.
Second:
init.php checks paths wrong.
Meaning: It checks paths wrong on WINDOWS.
Background:
The Apache Webserver (and IIS as well possibly) change \ to /.
As a result TYPO3 works perfectly fine when being called via the webserver.
But you don't call it via apache...
Using the standard way, PHP might be installed the call on the CL looks like 
this:
c:\php\cli\php 
d:\wwwroot\kb.internal.dus.wmdb.de\typo3conf\ext\kb_linkchecker\import\class.linkcheck.php

Now, since no webserver is involved the paths that are returned by PHP are 
like this:
d:\wwwroot\kb.dus. [you get the rest]

init.php check with a substring, if the last parts of that path include 
../typo3conf/
Notice the forward slashes!

init.php is not x-classable so you will have to patch the complete file.
Right before the check I wrote this:
if (defined('TYPO3_cliMode') && TYPO3_OS == 'WIN') {
 $temp_path = str_replace('\\','/',$temp_path);
}

This solution works for us here but I do NOT suggest it since this is a 
quick hack which is mostly untested!!

all the best
