I had to downgrade/upgrade VS 2022, so reinstalling VA now and I get the message that some components are missing, then VA launches the VSIX installer which gets me this error:
Any ideas? |

| Figured it out. Must run it as administrator and elevated. |

| OK, that is down right strange. Installing for VS2010 and later should never require elevated permissions. At a guess an IDE process was still running in the background, which a reboot would also have cleared. But that's just a guess. Glad you found a solution. |

Nope, no IDE processes. But I have to admit that our network setup is - different - from normal, so run-as-admin is not what most applications expect, not even Visual Studio. We use MakeMeAdmin to actually do admin stuff. So this may be the reason why VSIX fails, but still its weird. Am wondering though which package VA requires that was missing.

| The message suggests problems writing out installer logs, but the file name seems reasonably unique, and I would not expect the %TEMP% directory to be restricted, and require admin rights to write to. |
