Foundry project was not able to initialize correctly: Error: Couldn't find forge binary.

Problem:
When attempting to open a Foundry project in VSCode using the Nomic Foundation Solidity extension, I encounter the following error:

Foundry project 'fund-me-foundry' was not able to initialize correctly: Error: Couldn't find forge binary. Performed lookup: ["forge","C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\.cargo\\bin\\forge"]

I installed Foundry on Windows using Git Bash with the command:

curl -L https://foundry.paradigm.xyz | bash.

And I ran foundryup after installation.

When I run where forge in terminal, I get this path: "C:\Users\USERNAME.foundry\bin\forge.exe."

I investigated further and found this commit:
90102de#diff-bb3d24c14df5446295dea3e272f667fcf3b9cd17ca7eb49863750e526c78ed67

In the file: server/src/frameworks/Foundry/FoundryProject.ts starting from line 223 there is this piece of code:

 if (runningOnWindows()) {
      potentialForgeCommands.push("%USERPROFILE%\\.cargo\\bin\\forge");
    } else {
      potentialForgeCommands.push("~/.foundry/bin/forge");
    }

So I figured out that this path is probably hardcoded everywhere and this might be why I am encountering this issue.

When I switch to the Juan Blanco Solidity extension, I don't have this problem, so that is why I think this is problem with extension and not with my installation. It is worth mentioning that all my commands (until now) work correctly, and I have no problem with that, it is just this annoying error that I get when I open Foundry project.

Same issue here, running on windows too. Everything works fine except this annoying error message when opening vscode.
The correct path is "%USERPROFILE%\\.foundry\\bin\\forge", instead of "%USERPROFILE%\\.cargo\\bin\\forge".

The problematic part is here: server/src/frameworks/Foundry/resolveForgeCommand.ts

export async function resolveForgeCommand() {
  if (resolvedForgeCommand) {
    return resolvedForgeCommand;
  }

  const potentialForgeCommands = ["forge"];

  if (runningOnWindows()) {
    potentialForgeCommands.push(
      `${process.env.USERPROFILE}\\.cargo\\bin\\forge`
    ); 
  } else {
    potentialForgeCommands.push(
      `${process.env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME || process.env.HOME}/.foundry/bin/forge`
    );
  }

There is a fix suggested in this PR: #515
