'openssl' is not recognized as an internal or external command

I set to "opensslutils.opensslPath": "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL-Win32\bin" and i'm getting below error.

"opensslutils.useWsl": true,
"opensslutils.opensslPath": "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\"

Command failed: wsl C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL-Win32\bin req -x509 -sha1 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /mnt/c/Users/sattir/AppData/Local/Temp/op_55d3d7e2e753e8e06b5a.key -out /mnt/c/Users/sattir/AppData/Local/Temp/op_55d3d7e2e753e8e06b5a.pem -subj "/CN=chandra2ravi/C=US/ST=il/localityName=d/O=chandra2ravi/emailAddress=chandra2ravi@gmail.com"

I suspect that you are using a precompiled version of OpenSSL for Windows and not the OpenSSL in a linux distro using the Windows Subsystem for Linux. Try to set

"opensslutils.useWsl": false,
"opensslutils.opensslPath": "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.exe"

And let me know.

Notes:

• it must really be path including executable,
• double backslashes (JSONC editor will warn you anyway, but from snippets above it is not apparent),
• restart VSC necessary for pref to take effect.

With this configuration it gives the same error.

"opensslutils.useWsl": false,
"opensslutils.opensslPath": "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\openssl.exe"

"opensslutils.opensslPath": "C:\\tools\\OpenSSL-Win64\\bin\\openssl.exe",
"opensslutils.useWsl": false,

Doesnt work for me

"opensslutils.useWsl": false, "opensslutils.opensslPath": "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSL-Win32\bin\openssl.exe"

It worked for me once I use the short path name (get through command prompt with dir /X)
"opensslutils.useWsl": false, "opensslutils.opensslPath": "C:\\PROGRA~1\\OpenSSL-Win64\\bin\\openssl.exe"
