Unable to perform go build

[bviktor]

• VSCode Version: 1.11.2
• OS Version: 1703 15063.138

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Get a VM image for win10 15.15063 from modern.ie

2. start it up, install updates, restart

3. install vs code with defaults

4. install go runtime with defaults

5. start vs code

6. install go extension, restart vs code

7. create a new .go file:

package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
	fmt.Println("foobar")
}

8. ctrl+f5

Expected output: foobar printed

Actual output:

The program "${file}" does not exist: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS Code\${file}'

On the top the following appears:

Error: Failed to continue: "The program attribute must point to valid directory, .go file or executable."

Which you can either "close" or "open launch.json" but if you try the latter, nothing happens at all.
