unable to install Vundle on windows

[iSteed]

I have dug through these issues, and none seem to be the same problem i am experiencing. Following all the install guides, and FAQs i could find, I am unable to get Vundle.vim to install.
I am on windows, with 64bit vim. i have gone back and fourth between the default /vimfiles/ and /.vim/ im unsure of how to proceed.

here is my _vimrc:

"sample config from vundle
set nocompatible              " be iMproved, required
filetype off                  " required

set rtp+=$HOME\.vim\bundle\Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin('$HOME\.vim\bundle')
Plugin 'VundleVim/Vundle.vim'
Plugin 'Valloric/YouCompleteMe'
Plugin 'skywind3000/asyncrun'
Plugin 'tpope/vim-fugitive'
Plugin 'git://git.wincent.com/command-t.git'
Plugin 'rstacruz/sparkup', {'rtp': 'vim/'}
call vundle#end()            " required
filetype plugin indent on    " required
" To ignore plugin indent changes, instead use:
"filetype plugin on
"
" Brief help
" :PluginList       - lists configured plugins
" :PluginInstall    - installs plugins; append `!` to update or just :PluginUpdate
" :PluginSearch foo - searches for foo; append `!` to refresh local cache
" :PluginClean      - confirms removal of unused plugins; append `!` to auto-approve removal
"
" see :h vundle for more details or wiki for FAQ

here is my :version

Looking at the :PluginInstall interface, i only see the main plugin, where i expect to see the others i have place in the vimrc file.

  " Installing plugins to C:\Users\<myname>\.vim\bundle                                                    |

when i go to :PluginInstall and highlight Vumble/Vumble.vim and hit i

This feels very similar to #430 to me. Unfortunately, I am the only person suggesting actions towards issues at the moment, and I don't have a Windows machine. If you continue to have trouble, it might be a good idea to try one of the more active (and larger and more featureful --- though whether you think that is what you want is a different question) plugin managers like vim-plug.

On the other hand, if you do figure it out, be sure to comment here.
