 ## If Visual Studio 2019 Preview is installed, node-gyp cannot find MSBuild.exe

+## Botskills CLI tool can't resolve trailing backslash in any of the arguments using Command Prompt as terminal
+
+There is a known issue in the `Botskills` CLI tool during the command's execution when any of the arguments contains a **trailing backslash** using the `Command Prompt` as terminal. This is due to a parsing issue in the shell.
+
+Example of the `connect` command with a trailing backslash in the `luisFolder` argument:
+``` bash
+botskills connect --botName "<YOUR_VA_NAME>" --localManifest "<YOUR_LOCAL_MANIFEST_FILE>" --luisFolder "<YOUR_LUIS_FOLDER_PATH>\" --ts
+```
+
+So, to avoid this, it's highly recommended to use `PowerShell 6` to execute the CLI tool commands. Also, you can remove the trailing backslash of the argument.
