@ramiro's suggestion (#62) works perfectly for use on Windows and Unik-lixe. It could be default in sample .vimrc.

The real solution is to get #244 fixed, then use the first writeable directory in 'rtp'. That's what netrw does with its history file (see #271) and vimball extraction uses it, too.

Seems like #244 and #271 are related to bundles/scripts/plugins putting ancillary files in wrong paths because of the rtp manipulation Vundle performs.

This is about a more primitive problem. It simple keeps Vundle from being initialized at all correctly on the affected platform.

I'd propose to fix this independently and sooner than that long-term-and-no-patch-avaible-yet fix or at least document it for the benefit of Windows users.

Oh, this is about updating the README. That's a good idea since most Windows users stick to vimfiles. (I used .vim just so I wouldn't have to make any changes with my dotfiles repo.)

@gmarik has said before that the example vimrc has to stay as short as possible so I think this is not an option. There are also extra instructions for windows here which are linked from the readme.

#222 is kind of related.

Closing this as instructions for windows are documented and linked from README
