Took me a while to figure out what i have to write exactly in redPath setting. I'm on windows 10. I'm a below average user of Visual Studio Code, and newbie in Red.

When i read this bit:

Specify the full path of the red toolchain "red.redPath": "/home/user1/tools/red-latest"

I thought, ok, linux, but I'm on windows, and what's a toolchain? 😄

I figure out through trial and error, that i had to write: c:\\work\\red\\red.exe (because that's where i put red.exe on my hdd)

I think it would help new people, if this bit was added to readme.

For windows user: c:\\work\\red\\red.exe or c:\work\red\red.exe or c:/work/red/red.exe are all ok.

Recommend you to use c:/work/red/red.exe
