Mon 04 Feb 2013 08:46:05 PM UTC, comment #1: Now, some plugins like maxima, pari, ... are searched in standard Windows directories installation location (\.; \Program Files* for units c:,d: or e:). No need to modify le init-??.scm anymore. Although, it is possible to change the new 'winpath' variable in those files for a non standard installation. Absolute path are allowed.

A recent patch by Adrian fixes problems with paths in windows, he reports there's still an issue with whitespace in paths:
Adrian reports the following in the mailing list:
The problem with the spaces seems to be coming from the line in the file
init-maxima in the following part:
Escaping whitespace is easy. Just do something like:
Though ideally we'd want to escape any other weird chars.
However I fail to see how whitespace can be a problem here since the path is enclosed in double quotes. May it be a problem in maxima.bat?
