In Windows the file path separator character is \ not /. Currently when parsing a config location ending with \ in windows as it should for a folder, an exception is raised complaining it does not end with '/'.
Fix: Add File.separator as valid suffix for directory detection

@mederel thanks for the follow-up but given the change is small, we can review that build error as part of reviewing if it is related.

There is also a dedicated note in the reference guide we'd have to update if we decide to pursue with this change.
