Current automatic installation script in wiki is not compatible with Windows, mostly due to these two problems:

autoload should be in ~/vimfiles instead of ~/.vim on Windows.
The cURL comes with Windows (namely C:/Windows/System32/curl.exe) and cmd.exe/PowerShell will not expand ~ with ! invocation.

I wrote a compatible version, tested to solve these two problems, making it compatible with Windows:

let data_dir = has('nvim') ? stdpath('data') . '/site' : has('win32') ? '~/vimfiles' : '~/.vim'
if empty(glob(data_dir . '/autoload/plug.vim'))
  silent execute '!curl -fLo '.fnamemodify(data_dir.'/autoload/plug.vim', ':p:S').' --create-dirs  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim'
  autocmd VimEnter * PlugInstall --sync | source $MYVIMRC
endif

Only few words changed.

If we get this updated to wiki, we can benefit the users.
