Thanks for reporting your issue @ringzer
First time I see such a problem 😕
Any clue @sharwell ?

[ringzer]

I should clarify that I'm running Windows 10 on my company's network so it's entirely possible there is some unknown modification/restriction causing this.

However I have installed other VS extensions without issue. Often times things fail because external downloads are blocked for security reasons not it's not the case here.

The installation on my machine is managed by Windows App-V so perhaps the code you have to check what is installed doesn't check for the location used by App-V.

Is there anything you want me to check on my machine or registry?

Thanks @ringzer I don't see anything to test more at the moment but if I get an idea I will get back to you
