Now that looks exactly like the bug I thought I had gotten rid 
of...
The bug was that on Windows, the bootstrap program could exit 
before the symbolic link to dls.exe was created, so the extension 
was left without anything to launch.

Does it continue like this after reloading VSCode's window ?

Creating symlinks requires admin rights on Windows. In order to 
do that I'm launching a powershell command to bring up the User 
Account Control popup.
I'm no Windows expert, so on some machines it could fail due to 
some strict policy about powershell execution, or simply not 
having the possibility to gain admin rights.
I was thinking about working around that problem in the next 
version; requiring admin rights for something like this is 
obviously not really optimal.
