[Ni Va]

Hi,

I daily use Gvim reading source code or other with TagBar plugin under Win10 OS under GVim 32bits x86 8.2.3558 build with ming under MSYS2.

It appears that TagBarToogle it works perfectly on my physical laptop Win10 64bits meanwhile an exception seems closing Gvim under Virtual MAchine under same OS.

Thanks for helping.

  if has('win32')

  var py3extenspath: string = expand('$vim/extensions/python/x86/')

if isdirectory( py3extenspath )

  var py3dllpath = py3extenspath .. 'python311.dll'

  if !filereadable(py3dllpath)

  else

var pythonthree_homes: list<string> = system('where "python311.dll"')->split('\n')->filter('v:val =~ "extensions"')

py3dllpath = pythonthree_homes[0]->fnamemodify(':p:gs?\\?/?')

  endif

  execute 'set pythonthreehome=' .. py3extenspath

  execute 'set pythonthreedll='  .. py3dllpath->fnamemodify(':p:gs?\\?/?')
