Cannot Install Extensions in Visual Studio Code

Unable to Install Visual Studio Code Extensions

I was able to install some extensions after my network admin disabled SSL Inspection on my machine.

This is not ideal as I wouldn't want this turned off for everything.

After re-enabling inspection, I set my User Settings to

"http.proxyStrictSSL": true

I am still unable to download packages, but this does appear to be the problem.

Can't install VS Code extension

You can try to open the .vsix extention file with vscode itself. Or you can run the command below from cmd with the correct path

code --install-extension <path\to\extention>

Documentation here: https://vscode-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/extensions/install-extension/

I'm not sure what are you using for install, but that's trying to install the vscode extention to Visual Studio Professional 2022 and Visual Studio Enterprise 2019. Keep in mind the Visual Studio is not the same as Visual Studio Code.

Not able to install extensions in VS code

do you already have Visual Studio Code installed?

you can either grab it from the marketplace here and it'll request to open VS Code to install, or once you have VS Code:

• open VS Code
• Ctrl + Shift + X this will open open the Extensions panel
• Type ESLint in the search bar.
• Find the ESLint extension in the search results
• click the green Install button next to it
