Fails on Vim for Windows

Is there anyone using tagbar-phpctags.vim on Windows?
I just got its distributed archive at vim.org and gave it a try on Windows version of gVim 7.4, but with no success. When I did :TagbarToggle for a php script, gVim spewed the following messages.
Error detected while processing function tagbar#ToggleWindow..<SNR>46_ToggleWindow..<SNR>46_OpenWIndow..<SNR>46_AutoUpdate..<SNR>46_ProcessFile..<SNR>46_EcecuteCtagsOnFile:
line 64:
Tagbar: Could not execute ctags for c:\tmp\VIBE8C8.tmp.php!
Executed command: "phpctags --memory="128M" -f - "c:\tmp\VIBE8C8.tmp.php""
Command output:
'phpctags' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Obviously Windows could not handle phpctags rightly. I've confirmed the command php phpctags -f - some_script.php works flawlessly on cmd.exe, writing down results to stdout. But I don't know the way to run tagbar-phpctags.vim without tweaking something.
Solved by myself. The script came to work after making phpctags.cmd and copying it in the same folder as phpctags.
Good one, @bogota. Yes, you need phpctags in your path for it to work. The plugins does its best to install and use it, but I have no idea if it works on Windows or not, Linux user here.
