Well done for making it work and finding the reason.
And thanks for posting the solution.

Hello everyone. I managed to get Maxima running in Windows. This is what I did:
(1) Install te TeXmacs binary, but *DO NOT* install it in the default
location, but in one *THAT DOES NOT HAVE SPACES* (The location
"Program Files (x86)", which is the default, fails precisely because
of this reason.
In my case, I installed it in my desktop, with path:
C:\users\adrian\Desktop
(2) In the instalation directory, which in my case is
C:\users\adrian\Desktop\TeXmacs
go to the file
progs/kernel/texmacs/tm-plugins
and open it using notepad.
Then go to the line
(define-public (plugin-add-windows-path rad rel after?)
(when (os-macos?)
(add-windows-program-path (url-append rad rel) after?)))
and change it to
(define-public (plugin-add-windows-path rad rel after?)
(when (os-mingw?)
(add-windows-program-path (url-append rad rel) after?)))
If you had already started TeXmacs, then, in TeXmacs, update the
plugins to have it detect it.
I use Maxima 5.35.1.2
I do hope this helps others.
----More details below-------
The problem with the spaces seems to be coming from the line in the file
init-maxima in the following part:
`((:launch
,(string-append "maxima.bat -p \"" (getenv "TEXMACS_PATH")
"\\plugins\\maxima\\lisp\\texmacs-maxima.lisp\"")))
Running the command code in Scheme in my computer, it gives:
((#:launch "maxima.bat -p
\"C:\\Users\\adrian\\Desktop\\TeXmacs\\plugins\\maxima\\lisp\\texmacs-maxima.lisp\""))
which has no problems, but if I install in the default location, it
outputs a location with spaces, which somehow had to be escaped
somehow. I do not know how to fix that.
Take care.
Peace
-Adrian.
