I sent an earlier message to the list (or possibly to the vim list) about my problems in getting the vundle distro to work under the vim text editor. I am glad to report that the problem is solved, and this is what I found:
This is a "cygwin" problem, although not necessarily a bug; more like a PEBCAK problem in the package selection stage, as there are 3 vim packages to choose from. The "vim" command is a different "vim" than the "vi" command. Both are "vim", but come from different vim packages. In Linux and other *nix systems, vi is symbolically linked to vim, but not in this case. These are different copies of vim, and both look in different places for the .*rc file. I found that "vi" looks first in ~/.virc and second in ~/.vim/vimrc. When you install vundle. the second place is a directory, causing "vi" to choke. Even when that is corrected, it doesn't know how to handle the Bundle command, and you get a wild flurry of error messages. vim, however, looks first in ~/.vimrc which exists, and in turn sources files under ~/.vim/vimrc. It waits a few moments, then opens your file. This is consistent with my experience with vim/vundle under other OS'es. So, for me it was just a matter of logging in with my Administrator account, then moving "vi" to "_vi"; then agreeing with custom, linking vim symbolically to vi.
