Hi guys, downloaded the VS-code plugin for on both my mac and my windows machine. Both are not able to install. error code: extension/package.json not found inside zip.
dubble checked to see the extention is good and it is, the package seems to have some issues or am I skipping a step?
best,
Dirk

Some browsers rename the file extension on downloading the vsix file.
You need to rename the file after its downloaded to .vsix and then it'll run executing in Visual Studio.

Hi Jared, thanks for the quick response! Your tip is also provided in the tutorial, however it does not seem to work
So I have tried three new things:
- changing the name and file extention several times for .vsix to something else and than back to .vsix => error keep reoccuring
- use two other browsers to download the file, also with repeating the step above => no success
- copying hte json files in the package and calling them extension or package => no difference
My VS code is up to date I'm at 1.38, really not sure how to continue, nice platform only debugging in the browser IDE is not doable
Best,
Dirk

Apologies I misread the forum heading! It is a Visual Studio plugin, not VS-Code! We'd love your feedback on how to improve the debugging in the web IDE.
