Visual Studio Code - access denied to unins000.exe


I am new to Visual Studio. I have it set up with Git. When I have VS open, I keep on getting this error pop up: enter image description here

how do I get this to go away? I have tried running (and installing it) in administrator.

Win10 x64 build 19041 Visual Studio Code v1.49.2 x64


Solution

  • It seems like using the default download is built to be installed in your AppData folder. Should you want to (like me) install it in your Program Files folder, go to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/75367 and follow the link there to https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/?dv=win64 and download the exe from there. This seems to have solved my problem.
