Windows: Renpy executable location doesn't work when Running unless the backslashes are escaped

[TuulikkiUnelma]

On Windows, the Ren'Py: Launch option doesn't work unless the backslashes on the path to the Renpy Executable Location are escaped with other backslashes.

While the problem is solvable, I doubt that this is the intended behaviour since other extensions do not escape them on their path-related setting strings.

This works.

This doesn't, but I think it should.

I am on Windows 11.

Hm, that's interesting. From a programmer point of view, the first one is the only correct one due to the way strings are processed.

From a user perspective, definitely a bug. We can add a bit of code that escapes the backslashes after the user added a path so it works as expected.

Anyone who's interested in contributing is welcome to pick this up :)
