Description
In **https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools/blob/main/docs/debug-launch.md#msvc**
```json
"environment": [
{
// add the directory where our target was built to the PATHs
// it gets resolved by CMake Tools:
"name": "PATH",
"value": "${env:PATH}:${command:cmake.getLaunchTargetDirectory}"
},
```
PATH in windows should use `;` as a separator, this configuration won't work.
