Describe the bug

Edge doesn’t open for WASM debugging in VSC.

To Reproduce

Stock WASM app created from the 3.2 template and configured for Edge …

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Launch and Debug Standalone Blazor WebAssembly App",
            "type": "blazorwasm",
            "request": "launch",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "browser": "edge"
        }
    ]
}

Exception

Additional note

The error dialog suggests setting the runtime executable for Edge (runtimeExecutable), but I don’t think that’s possible (not without hacks perhaps). Edge docs don’t reveal much info about how Edge is launched, and they certainly they don’t speak to an executable that does it. Research seemed to indicate that Edge doesn’t launch via an executable.
