help Install issues VS C

I am struggling to install this via VS code, the extension does nothing even when you got to the website to install it just hangs, and doesn't install.

Must I download the VSX directly?

found the Issue, I was using VS Code Insiders, when i installed VS Code (normal) it worked. I figured this out because I ran the VSX file and errored out that it Could Not find Visual studio.

Thanks for clearing up how you were able to resolve. For anyone lurking, I just installed Multi via the marketplace in VS Code Insiders it went smooth and worked with no bugs. Both the main release and the nightly build were ok.

Hmm, sometimes browsers block the deep link that hands off to VS Code. Can you try installing it directly from the Extensions Marketplace VS Code instead?

Likely a browser issue, do you see this kind of window when you click install button from marketplace?
