Yes, that's because Windows does not support the ':' character

Although I see the status bar at the bottom of my screen, the rest of the functionality is missing, for example none of the menus pops up ( i have dmenu installed), neither can I use the modifier keys.

Simply edit PREFIX/bin/wmii and change WMII_NS_DIR to something
which does not includes the ':' character.
