No config files found in Logstash 1.4

Question

I'm following the process on http://logstash.net/docs/1.4.0/tutorials/getting-started-with-logstash

but even if I try to "logstash agent -f "D:\logstash.conf" with

input { stdin { } }
output {
  elasticsearch { host => localhost }
  stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

it return me an error:

Error: No config files found: D:\logstash.conf Can you make sure this path is a logstash config file? and bla-bla-bla

I'm really confused.

With Windows, you need to use forward slash "/" instead of the normal backslash "\" in the path to the config file.
