Remote-SSH: Fails to discover WSL SSH

- VSCode Version: 1.37.0-insider - Local OS Version: Windows 10 1803 - Remote OS Version: N/A - Remote Extension/Connection Type: SSH Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have Remote-SSH installed 2. Connect to Host 3. VSCode fails to find any SSH with error "An SSH installation couldn't be found" 4. I checked the Remote - SSH Output and can't even see it attempting to look for WSL SSH Got error from ssh: spawn ssh ENOENT Testing ssh with C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\ssh.exe -V Got error from ssh: spawn C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\ssh.exe ENOENT Testing ssh with C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe -V Got error from ssh: spawn C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe ENOENT Testing ssh with C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe -V Got error from ssh: spawn C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe ENOENT Finding installed ssh failed: ssh installation not found ssh installation not found Which is unexpected as the documentation here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/troubleshooting#_installing-a-supported-ssh-client Specifically states it'll use WSL SSH  These closed issues also make it look as though it WAS added recently: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/359 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/448
