Windows 10 cannot install plugins despite enabling developer mode

[medwatt]

I am trying to install a couple of plugins in nvim on windows 10, but it doesn't work. I read the README which says developer mode must be enabled. I did just that but it still fails to install plugins.

Here is a snippet of my init.lua.

--------------------------------------------------
-- Install packer if not already installed
--------------------------------------------------
local execute = vim.api.nvim_command
local fn = vim.fn

local install_path = fn.stdpath('data')..'/site/pack/packer/start/packer.nvim'

if fn.empty(fn.glob(install_path)) > 0 then
  fn.system({'git', 'clone', 'https://github.com/wbthomason/packer.nvim', install_path})
  execute 'packadd packer.nvim'
end

--------------------------------------------------
-- Plugins to install
--------------------------------------------------
local packer = require('packer')
local use = packer.use

local plugins = function()

    -- Packer
    use 'wbthomason/packer.nvim'

    -- Firenvim
    use {'glacambre/firenvim',
         run = function() vim.fn['firenvim#install'](0) end}

    -- Snippets
    use {'SirVer/ultisnips', config = [[require('main.plugin_config.ultisnips_config')]]}
    use {'honza/vim-snippets'}

    -- Text Completion
    use {'hrsh7th/nvim-compe', config = [[require('main.plugin_config.compe_config')]]}

end

--------------------------------------------------
-- Load correct init file
--------------------------------------------------
packer.startup(plugins)

@medwatt I'm probably not going to be able to help but just so that whoever knows anything about how this works on windows can actually help, can you post more information about what errors exactly you are seeing exactly, what your packer compiled file is etc.

[medwatt]

@akinsho Thanks for your gesture as usual. The error I get when executing PackerInstall is:

Here's my packer_compiled.vim.

Awesome thanks and for the screenshot, in the screen above where it shows each plugin that failed can you move your cursor over one of them and press enter this will expand the plugin and show you details about what went wrong. That might give a clue about why it isn't working

[medwatt]

@akinsho , it says fatal: Too many arguments.

I think this is the same issue as #165, there's a space in the name of your home folder

[medwatt]

@nanotee I change the location of packer to a place without spaces. Same issue.

[wbthomason]

Can you please post the contents of your packer log? There may be more information about the failure in there.

[medwatt]

@wbthomason Here's the log file.
