Unless the situation has changed, you can't use ctags files under Vim if
you're dealing with paths that contain spaces. I believe the limitation
applies to both files being tagged (which should be okay, if
c:\Bada\1.0.0\include[...] doesn't have files with spaces in their
names), and to the tags file itself (which isn't okay as it is, due to
the space in 'Program Files').

I might be wrong about the latter limitation, so you might try quoting
it differently: '\b' is the escape sequence for a 'backspace' character.
So, your path including "\Vim\bada" won't be interpreted properly. You
should either use single quotes:

set tags+='c:\Program Files\Vim\bada'

or double the '\'s:

set tags+="c:\\Program Files\\Vim\\bada"
