Vfox failes to return version on Windows #2

Description

@HalvorNygaard

Trying to install latest dotnet version through mise on windows, but vfox dotnet plugin seems to not work. Did see this issue here version-fox#6 where someone seemingly stumbled over the same problem.

mise use dotnet --verbose
