This seems to be a compile time setting: In vim, enter ':help windows'. The help text mentions: {not able to use multiple windows when the |+windows| feature was disabled at compile time} To find out if the '+windows' feature is enabled in your vim-binary, check the list of compile time features produced by 'vim --version'.
