From Bug #911999 I learned a solution. I replaced "shlex_split_unicode" with "cmdline.split" in:

  o C:\Program Files (x86)\Bazaar\plugins\explorer\lib\app_suite.py, and
  o C:\Program Files (x86)\Bazaar\plugins\explorer\lib\explorer.py

For example: return cmdline.split(command) # shlex_split_unicode(command)

I also commented out "from bzrlib.commands import shlex_split_unicode" in both files.

Bazaar Explorer opened for me.

Not out of the woods yet... In Bazaar Explorer, I selected menu Bazaar - Plugins, and got an error. Here are the details:

Thanks!

bzr-explorer bug, seems to be fixed there.
