Unable to handle /path/to/python.exe error occurs when the vscode configuration folder (like .vscode) is a symbolic link

Unable to handle /path/to/python.exe error occurs when the vscode configuration folder (like .vscode) is a symbolic link, which usually occurs when vscode installed in scoop or other vscode configuration folders are symlinked Here I have changed the vscode installed on the system to use symbolic links

And the issues I sent before were installed using scoop #132

It works fine when the configuration folder does not use symbolic links

This seems to be duplicate of #223

Fixing it in #271
