Org-mode maxima code-blocks incorrect syntax

I'm new to Emacs, coming from Vim, using Spacemacs on Windows 10 atm. My problem is that when I try to evaluate maxima code blocks in emacs, for example:

#+begin_src maxima
a: 1+1;
print(a);
#+end_src

I get the following error:

#+RESULTS:
 "incorrect syntax:  / is not a prefix operator"

I think it might be because of how windows is handling the path. I found the following code online and replaced it in "ob-maxima.el" but it didn't help:

(let* ((cmdline (or (cdr (assoc :cmdline params)) ""))
          (in-file (org-babel-temp-file "maxima-" ".max"))
        (cmd (format "%s --very-quiet -r \"batchload(\\\"%s\\\")$\" %s"
                 org-babel-maxima-command in-file cmdline)))

Thanks a lot for you help, much appreciated!

Edit 2020.03.26--------------------- I got it working using "choco install maxima", now it executes properly.

This bug has been fixed in org-mode upstream for quite some time, so it should now work for you out of box.
