Hi,

The problem seems to be trivial, but I haven’t found any solutions yet. `VSCode Extension` reports `Could not start the Julia language server. Make sure the configuration setting julia.executablePath points to the Julia binary.` The path (`C:/Julia/bin/julia.exe`) is correct and I can run it in `powershell` terminal in `VSCode`. My environment is: `Windows 7 SP1` (prereqs met), `Julia 1.7.1`, `VSCode 1.63.2` and `VSCode Extension 1.5.8`. The problem is not present with `Julia 1.6.5` and the `LanguageServer` starts properly if I set `julia.executablePath` to my `Julia 1.6.5` installation : `C:/Julia-1.6.5/bin/julia.exe`. I have tried to use `Atom` but I have encountered the same behavior: `Julia 1.6.5` terminal works but `1.7.1` fails with `We tried to launch Julia from: C:/Julia/bin/julia.exe This path can be changed in the settings.` I am attaching `VSCode Developer Console` log
