This is a huge issue for windows users. Is there any known workaround?

My personal solution (on windows 10):

1. Install the Cloud-MTA-Tool by npm install -g mta.
2. By npm list -g find the path of your global node modules.
3. As a privileged user, copy the exe file C:\path\to\globel\modules\node_modules\mta\unpacked_bin\mta.exe to the %windir% folder (mostly to C:\Windows) or to a folder where the PATH environment variable points to.
4. Check with where mta that the copied mta.exe file is the first executable that the system meets.
5. Now install the vscode-mta-tools tools in visual studio code ... best within a bash shell as retrieved from https://git-scm.com/ by issuing git clone https://github.com/SAP/vscode-mta-tools and cd vscode-mta-tools, replacing the lines in package.json containing "vsce": "1.96.1" and "vscode-test": "1.5.2" by "@vscode/vsce": "^2" resp. "@vscode/test-electron": "^2", running npm audit fix --force, npm update --package-lock-only and then npm run ci. All tests should now pass (possibly you have to put %ProgramFiles%\Git\bin into the PATH environment variable after %ProgramFiles%\Git\cmd.

But what is it for? At the end, the above mention error message does no longer popup, but the extension claims: "Could not find any generators." :-(
