Research direction

Start with the CLI plugin installation section linked in the issue and compare its Windows path with the reported locations for docker-scout.exe. Verify which location supports manual installation and CLI use; done means the documentation accurately describes the Windows 11 installation path.

Description

Hi,

I recently noticed that the manual installation location givene here:
https://github.com/docker/scout-cli?tab=readme-ov-file#cli-plugin-installation

Does not fit for my Windows 11 x64 installation.

Location given is:

%USERPROFILE%\.docker\scout

Real location of 'docker-scout.exe' is:

C:\Program Files\Docker\cli-plugins

Actually it looks like that 'docker-scout.exe' is also available in this path.
However, this location doesn't seem to have an impact on running it from the CLI.

C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\cli-plugins

Would be great, if somebody could check this, please.
