[Windows 10] Invalid value for argument cmd .wakatime/wakatime-cli.exe #183

I have NeoVim installed and running on an up-to-date Windows 10 system. I am using Packer for my package manager. Upon adding the line use("wakatime/vim-wakatime") and running a :PackerSync, wakatime is installed in NeoVim, however I get the following error:

Error detected while processing CursorHold Autocommands for "*"..function <SNR>40_HandleActivity[23]..<SNR>40_SendHeartbeats: line 71: E475: Invalid value for argument cmd: 'C:/Users/<user>/.wakatime/wakatime-cli.exe' is not executable

I get a similar error when running any of the other Wakatime commands within nvim.

I went to the path listed in the error and found that I do not have wakatime-cli.exe, but I do have wakatime-cli-windows-amd64.exe. My Wakatime plugin works for Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, so I wonder if this executable's name is switched on Windows and the Neovim plugin doesn't look for this name by default. I couldn't figure out how to change it after reading the documentation or what to do to make it work.

How can this be resolved?

The plugin should have symlinked or renamed wakatime-cli-windows-amd64.exe to wakatime-cli.exe, but you can fix it by doing it manually.
