I've already tried invoking via

* make sure that your account has read-write access (if somehow its
owned by root...)
* In addition to "set nocompatible", you should also have: (in your .vimrc)
if version >= 600
filetype plugin indent on
endif
* Check that you in fact have a .vimrc, not a .gvimrc, for this. If you
use .gvimrc instead,
well, it loads after the plugins would, and so the "filetype plugin on"
won't be effecacious.
* Fire up vim; check on $VIMRUNTIME -- make sure that plugin/netrw*.vim
and autoload/netrw*.vim
are both there and readable by you as a user.
