Installing and using plugins under Windows does not work

[stevenengland]

Environment

Windows 11 vm

Description

When installing plugins, some installations are running without an error, others throw errors. After a successful installation the plugin cannot be used unfortunately.

This is true for a precompiled set of binaries as well as for a fresh built installation:

Example for a working installation but where the invocation fails:

(venv) C:\Users\vboxuser\Desktop\radare2_compiled\prefix\bin>r2pm -ci r2ai

(venv) C:\Users\vboxuser\Desktop\radare2_compiled\prefix\bin>r2pm -r r2ai
The command "r2ai" is either misspelled or could not be found

Example where even the plugin installation fails:
