Here's my rtp setting from _vimrc:
set rtp=$vim\\vimfiles,$vimruntime,$vim\\vimfiles\\after
That should avoid the problem. It doesn't. The reason is
that your netrwPlugin.vim in both the distribution (v98) and
the latest on your site contains this line near the top in
your "Load Once" section:
if exists("g:loaded_netrw")
At startup, both versions of nnetrwPlugin are sourced and
things get confused.
A simple solution, which appears to work fine, is to change
that line (in both files) to:
if exists("g:loaded_netrwPlugin")
and adding a line after the 'if v:version < 700' block:
let g:loaded_netrwPlugin = "netrw"
Now the update in vimfiles\ can safely coexist with the
release.

After a little trial and error, I found that eliminating one
line from my _vimrc "solves" the problem. That line is:
set wildignore=*.exe,*.dll,*.jpg,*.gif,*.o,*.obj
Merely because I don't want file completion on these files
doesn't imply that I don't want them showing up in a
directory listing. Any way around this?
====================================
I see you have made a few changes in the script. One
change, to determine whether cmd.exe or 4nt.exe is the
shell, contains this line:
if &shell =~ "\<\%(cmd.exe\|4nt.exe\)$"
That would work if you used single quotes (a literal instead
of a string). But even that would not work if the user had
'noic' (the default) and 'shell' was in uppercase. Also,
the '.' wildcard is not helpful. This tests fine:
if &shell =~ '\v<%(cmd|4nt)\.exe$\c'
