Vim, installing pathogen Windows

I tried to install vim plugin on my Windows OS but it don't work. fist I'm going to show you my vim directoris architecture then to show you my _vimrc.vim file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim >

17/07/2017  16:15    <DIR>          vim80
17/07/2017  17:45    <DIR>          vimfiles
17/07/2017  17:50               200 _vimrc

inside vim80 no changes added.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vimfiles

17/07/2017  17:47    <DIR>          autoload
17/07/2017  16:52    <DIR>          bundle
17/07/2017  17:05    <DIR>          config
17/07/2017  16:42    <DIR>          plugin

And this is how look like my ./vimfiles directorie Inside I created 4 directorie first one: ./autoload for the pathogen symlink,

C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vimfiles\autoload

17/07/2017  17:12    <SYMLINK>      pathogen.vim [C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vimfiles\plugin\pathogen\autoload\pathogen.vim]

As you see pathogen plugin is inside ./plugin/pathogen/autoload/pathogen.vim Then I creat a ./bundle directories for all the other plugins like NERDTree :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vimfiles\bundle

17/07/2017  16:52    <DIR>          nerdtree

Then this is my vimrc.vim file:

set nocompatible

" Initialisation de pathogen:
execute pathogen#infect()
execute pathogen#helptags()

runtime! $VIM/vimfiles/config/**/*.vim

I don't know why but when I try to use :NERDTree this message appear: 

E492: Unknow command line :NERDTree

Please if someone can help me? Thank you

Move pathogen

from C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vimfiles\plugin\pathogen\autoload\pathogen.vim

to C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vimfiles\autoload\pathogen.vim

(I removed plugin/pathogen)

Because you installed pathogen as a 'normal' pluggin so that pathogen can find it but patogen must be directly copied as a vim extension: it is a package manager itself so must be loaded the old way.

I'm just resolving my mistake, so this is my vim : 

set nocompatible
set nocp

filetype off

" Initialisation de pathogen:
call pathogen#infect()
call pathogen#helptags()

filetype plugin indent on

source $HOME\vimfiles\config\settings.vim

Then dont use symlink they don't work, use only file

    18/07/2017  12:15    <SYMLINK>      pathogen [C:\Users\Usename\vimfiles\plugin\pathogen\autoload\pathogen.vim]
    18/07/2017  11:13                   pathogen.vim

You need to update pathogen manualy.

So I move all the vimfiles folder and the _vimrc file in my C:/Users/Username directorie and nothing in my architectur change (see comments of the previous post). I also change the _vimrc contents with: 

set nocompatible
set nocp

" Initialisation de pathogen:
call pathogen#infect()
call pathogen#helptags()

source $HOME\vimfiles\config\settings.vim

But I have an other mistake. when I'm launching Gvim this message appear: 

E117: Unknown function: pathogen#infect

I dont know why, this is the result of :scriptname :

  1: ~\_vimrc
  2: ~\vimfiles\config\settings.vim
  3: C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim80\syntax\syntax.vim
  4: C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim80\syntax\synload.vim

 29: C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim80\indent\vim.vim
 30: C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim80\autoload\vimball.vim

I try a lot of solution from forum but no one work.
