Intermittent installer errors on Windows due to premature deletion of tempfiles about vim-plug HOT 5 CLOSED

Was having similar error when occasionaly reset shellslash option to unixway. That's probably should be documented cause of possible different working environments (cmd.exe or e.g. bash-mingw)

Hi, thanks for letting me know. Since I don't use Windows too often, I'm not very familiar with the environment, but one possible solution that comes to mind would be to use custom temporary directory such as ~/.vim/plugged/tmp instead of using tempname().

Neither do I. Just wanted to let you know that I've got very similar error message (something with temporary files blah), but everything worked fine when I've realized that I was using shellslash option at vimrc (while I should be using noshellslash instead, cause of default cmd.exe environment).
TLDR got noshellslash at vim on windows - got no errors

Very interesting, thanks. After some search, it seems that the same issue was raised in Vundle and fixed by the author of NeoBundle.

I've just tested the installer on Windows 7, but couldn't reproduce the problem whether shellslash is set or not. Strange. 😕
