Description

cordova on windows fails to add the plugin.
This error happens even when cordova-plugin-whitelist.
Therefore `cordova platform add windows` also fails.

For example,

```
> cordova create sample
> cd sample
> cordova platform add windows
```

brings following error.

```
...
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
Error: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nodist\bin\npm.exe: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:
npm ERR! code EINVALIDTAGNAME
npm ERR! Invalid tag name ""1"": Tags may not have any characters that encodeURIComponent encodes.
```

This error happens for windows environment only.
