Not an answer to your question, but you should not use PPTP. Old and not secure at all.
Change to some like L2TP IPSec.

There are a lot of reasons why you could get that error from the Windows VPN client but I won't go in to those in this post.

You stated that you don't have any firewall rules but, from my experience, you will need at least 2 rules for PPTP VPN to work (even if the MikroTik is the VPN server). Those rules are:
/ip firewall filter add chain=input dst-port=1723 protocol=tcp comment=”PPTP VPN”
/ip firewall filter add chain=input protocol=gre comment=”PPTP VPN”

NB: These rules need to be moved high in the list (i.e.: a low order number) so that they are no overriden by other rules.
