Can't install HeatWave extension for Visual Studio Code

I am trying to create an MSI file through WiX. To do that in VSCode, I need to install the "HeatWave" extension. But I can't find it in the extension marketplace. It is, however, in the online web browser marketplace.

I downloaded the VSIX file and tried to install it through that - Didn't work either. It just gave me this error. "extension/package.json was not found in ZIP"

What is preventing me from installing the extension? Is there any other way to add WiX to Visual Studio Code?

Solution

  • HeatWave is an extension for Visual Studio; it doesn't support Visual Studio Code. We're not aware of any Visual Studio Code extensions for WiX today. But please file a feature idea at https://github.com/firegiant/HeatWaveSupport/issues/new/choose so the dev team can track interest in VSCode.
