See original GitHub issue

Description

Today I upgraded from Fake 5-beta018 to beta020 because of the broken intellisense in VSCode. (fsharp/fake#1744). With this change the forward slashes in intellisense.fsx are replaced with single back slashes.

Please provide the steps required to reproduce the problem

Upgrade Fake 5 from beta018 to beta020
Delete [script_name.fsx].lock file
Call fake.cmd, such that a restore is triggert
Open directory in Ionide

Actual behavior

#if !FAKE
#r "C:\Users\jarno\.nuget\packages\fake.core.xml\5.0.0-beta020\lib\net46\Fake.Core.Xml.dll"
