Is your .emacs read at all? From the SE exchange, I have my doubts, but a 
Windows user
might be able to steer you in the right direction.

I would use a minimal init file and invoke emacs with (the Windows equivalent 
of)

    emacs -q -l /path/to/minimal/init/file

and then evaluate the variable

   C-h v org-latex-listings RET

and try to export your org file. The minimal init file should do the minimum 
possible.
Mine looks like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/emacs/org/org-mode/lisp")

(require 'org-loaddefs)
(require 'org)

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))

(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)

;;; 
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/32225/latex-export-uses-lstlisting-instead-of-minted-why#comment49631_32225

(setq org-latex-listings 'minted
  org-latex-packages-alist '(("" "minted"))
  org-latex-pdf-process
  '("pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"
    "pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and as I said on SE it works fine on Fedora 24 with emacs 26.0.50 and org-mode 
9.0.5.
That's more recent than yours but I tried it with org-mode 8.2.10 as well and 
it works
there too.

Can you post the org file and the resulting TeX file after this
experiment?
