Research direction

Review the README and the Docker Scout website documentation sections covering cliPluginsExtraDirs and Windows plugin installation. Verify the escaped %USERPROFILE% path and the C:\Program Files\Docker\cli-plugins location against the referenced issue. Done means both documentation locations show correct, usable Windows instructions.

Description

IN REF of this Issues closed https://github.com/docker/scout-cli/issues/98

Sorry to reiterate the error, but for Windows the path integration in the JSON is wrong, it has to be escaped, so putting only one Slash doesn't work. Then finally in the documentation they put a declared name I think to do it in a relative way would be more judicious too.

Like this: “cliPluginsExtraDirs”: ["%USERPROFILE%\\.docker\\scout"],
Double slash for escaped.

If you have this config but as like my config you need just to copy the Scout-cli here :
C:\Program Files\Docker\cli-plugins
But this is never mentioned either

Thank you.
