Just downloaded Nov version 1.8.1, Windows 10 VS Code.
Opens up fine. I try installing any Extension, it just hangs, says Installing.
Never installs any extensions.
I tried making the .vsix path readable, i tried version 1.7, I tried uninstalling, re-installing.
I tried adding the core, removing the core, the SDK, removing the SDK, I tried running as Admin.
Nothing worked.
This worked for me
In the .vscode\extensions directory i found a file called obsolete and deleted it and was able to install extensions manually downloaded via VSIX

I have a Windows 10 with the latest patches and downloaded the VisualStudio Code setup from the official page but when I double click the .exe nothing happens, it does open a dialog and no error is displayed, just nothing happens, I tried running it as admin, restarting the machine multiple times, always the same result.
It just happens with this specific .exe, I tried with several other installations and it works fine.
Is there a way to see what could be blocking the installation?
Use Chocolatey to install visual studio code if you can't install it by clicking the exe file. See the folowing link:

I have Visual Studio Code installed in Ubuntu 20.04. I love how it works. I installed it from the tar ball. Same with the SDK. I just found that those appear to work better than installing from deb packages.
I created a desktop file so I could add Visual Studio Code to the dock and launch it that way, but what I've noticed is that projects won't compile. I get errors stating it can't find the project even though the errors are listing the folder where the items exist.
The only way I can get it to work is to:
Open a terminal.
Navigate to the folder where the project files reside.
Launch code from the command line.
Then it works. Otherwise, I get a pop-up error that says "The preLaunchTask 'build' terminated with exit code -2" and then the terminal window is filled with errors.
Here's the last of the error messages and then I opened up a terminal and it shows that I'm in the folder for the project and the csproj exists there:
This also happens if I install Visual Studio code from a repository. It seems launching it from the Unity desktop breaks something. But if I launch it from the command line in a terminal session from the folder where the project resides, then the problem goes away.
I can also reproduce this error from the command line if I launch Visual Studio Code from a different folder than the project I'm trying to compile.
Is this common? Just curious. I'm wondering if because when I launch it from the Unity desktop, it's launching under a different
I got it working under 20.04. I must have done something wrong so I did a wipe of the .NET Core install and reinstalled it all using the bash shell script and then was able to install Code via Software Installer tool. Not sure why it didn't work before, but it works now.
I am unable to get Python extension working with fresh install of VS Code / Python 3.7.3 on Windows 10.
VS Code status bar shows a message 'Python extension loading...' continuously.
Python is installed in a non-standard path at c:\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python
Have uninstalled both VSCode and python several times and had installed afresh.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>which python

When developer tools is opened, the following error shows up in console.

OK - I deleted the VS Code profile folder
'%APPDATA%\Roaming\Code
and installed fresh extension along with miniconda, and it is working fine.
This seems to be an annoying problem that is caused by other extensions. Best way I fixed mine was:
To disable all the extensions
Enable ms-python extension
Reload vs-code and voila, it's all fixed
I also had this problem. But I fixed it by changing the location of the python file.
Just started getting following error, when I open Powershell Script in Visual Studio Code. It was working fine till yesterday.
Here is the error:
The language service could not be started:
Error: The language client requires VS Code version ^1.26 but recevied version 1.25.1
I googled it found a page which said to change package.json file to older version, but I cant find that file, I am using a macos.
Your problem is incompatible versions. The PowerShell extension is using a later feature in vscode that is not available in the version you have installed.
You can:
Upgrade vscode (if auto-update is failing, you can download the installer and re-run it)
Downgrade the PowerShell extension
Use the latest VSIX that worked for you
Use Extensions: Install from VSIX... from the Command Palette (CTRL+SHIFT+P) in vscode
Turn off auto-update on your extensions by adding the following to settings.json:
"extensions.autoUpdate": false,
This problem has been brought up a few times and I tried every suggested solution, but nothing helped.
What I have is a native module in a VS code extension. This works very well on Linux + Mac, but I cannot get it to load on Windows 10. Every time the extension is activated and tries to load the native module I get this error. What makes this so strange is that the native module works beautifully in a node session (in a Win command line). I checked what NodeJS version Visual Studio Code uses and installed exactly this version (x86, as vscode is still 32bit). I did an npm install npm -g, ran npm rebuild as well as normal node-gyp rebuild in my extension folder (or node module folder for node-gyp). Every time the module is built fine and works in a node session. Still I cannot get it to work in vscode. So I believe it must be something that has to do with the vscode app on Windows, just don't know what it is. For compilation I tried both VS 2013 and VS 2015.
Interesting here is also how node-gyp compiles the native module on Windows. It appears as if it uses a number of hacks, e.g. the compiled module crashs hard when using std::throw_with_nested (a C++11 feature). Another problem is the win_delay_load_hook.cc file, which contains a hack to make some weird situation work (this init fails on Win 10, so I had to disable that, this is a general DLL init problem not related to the vscode init). So it could well be it's just node-gyp on Win10 which is causing all the trouble. Yet, as I wrote, the native module works nicely in a node session.
What else could I do to find out what exactly is the problem? Is there a log file that shows exactly why the registration is not right? Is there a problem with vscode in general, on Windows 10?
