It happens so wat u can do is in yr windows maching navigating to the project folder in the command prompt type ruby script/plugin install "[http://Url](http://Url) of the plugin"

if u give just the plugin name u'll get that error

Please explain what plugins in particular you are trying to install and the exact commands you’re using. Also try ruby script/plugin discover and then script/plugin install.
