Two things:

1. When you use the `file:` protocol, you can generally use relative paths. Fortunately that's true here as well.
2. You should not generally add files to an installation directory manually this like. I'd recommend that you generally have some sort of general download directory or temp directory so that you never muddy up product installs.

That out of the way, you should be able to install it via:

```auto
E:\kibana-4.5.4-windows\bin>kibana plugin -i marvel -u file:../temp/marvel-2.3.4.tar.gz

```

Hope that helps,  
Chris
