Choose the Neovim configuration: stable config or test config
------------------------------------------------------------
What to do? Where to install Neovim?
------------------------------
Install Neovim in a folder C:\UTILS\Neovim\
1. Download:
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Installing-Neovim#install-from-downloadLatest stable release
Assets 12:
nvim-win64.zip
2. Install (Windows):
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/wiki/Installing-NeovimUnzip the package (nvim-win64.zip).
Run nvim-qt.exe
C:\UTILS\Neovim\bin\nvim-qt.exe
Create a stable configuration!
------------------------------
1)
First, rename the folders (stable config):
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\nvim\
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\nvim-data\
to
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\nvim1\
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\nvim-data1\
Note: C:\Users\username\AppData\ , it is a hidden folder
You can insert a blank Neovim-stable-config.txt file into both folders (for labeling purposes).
------------------------------
2)
Second:
Run nvim-qt.exe
Create a test configuration
Then, rename the folders (test config):
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\nvim\
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\nvim-data\
to
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\nvim2\
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\nvim-data2\
------------------------------------------------------------
for example
I am currently using a test configuration:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\
nvim (Symlink to folder nvim2)
nvim1
nvim2
nvim-data (Symlink to folder nvim-data2)
nvim-data1
nvim-data2

Create a symlink:
------------------------------
Windows Command shell
MKLINK
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklinkAn A-Z Index of Windows CMD commands:
https://ss64.com/nt/mklink.htmlMKLINK [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] LinkName Target
/D Create a Directory symbolic link. (default is file)
By default, only Administrators can create symbolic links.

CreateLink
http://multicommander.com/docs/customcommands_list#mc.utils.createlinkMC.Utils.CreateLink
LNKTYPE 1 = Hardlink, 2 = Junction, 3 = Symlink, 4 = Shortcut
------------------------------------------------------------
http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,1345.msg4769.html#msg4769To create Symlinks you must be admin.
You can add "ASADMIN" and you will get a UAC dialog, or you can start MC as admin.
LNKTYPE 3 = Symlink
MC.Utils.CreateLink ASADMIN LNKTYPE=3 LNKSRC="<new source folder>" LNKTRG="<existing target folder>"
<new source folder> Must not exists.
<existing target folder> It exists.
UAC dialog is shown and MCAdmin (Admin helper Process) is starts
SymLink folder is created and points to existing target folder
