Can't install release version of 'ms-vscode.remote-explorer' extension because it has no release version


I'm trying to install the extension pack for devcontainer development called "Remote Development", ms-vscode-remote.vscode-remote-extension pack. I get the following message:

[Window Title] Visual Studio Code

[Content] Can't install release version of 'ms-vscode.remote-explorer' extension because it has no release version.

[OK]

How can I resolve this?

Environment


Solution

  • As of October 21st, 2022, The only version available for Remote Explorer is the pre-release version. I successfully installed this extension by manually installing the latest pre-release version of Remote Explorer instead.

    You can do so by clicking on the downward-facing arrow on the "Install" button and then clicking on "Install Pre-Release Version.
