Is anyone else having issues updating plugins on windows with fresh downloads of logstash?
I'm getting the following error:
```auto

Hi, might be a Windows MAX\_PATH thing. base path looks fine but probably blows past N chars once the gem extracts files underneath. Try moving Logstash Zip Results to 'C:\ls'

Yup that's what it was; I also ran in to case-sensitivity issues when extracting the zip file on windows.
