Cannot Install Extension

[robquinn]

I just tried to install the extension "ADS-delete-database" in Azure Data Studio. There were two notable issues:

Issue 1 Pressing 'install' within ADS does not work, it doesn't install the extension.

• First I tried just pressing 'install' within ADS itself, however pressing 'install' within ADS does not work. When you press install, it prompts a link to be opened that takes you the ADS-delete-database release page.
• Maybe this is the intended behavior, I'm not sure. However, it is definitely confusing to the user; Well at least to me.

Issue 2 The deletedb-0.0.3.vsix executable on the release page fails to install with in an error

• When I downloaded deletedb-0.0.3.vsix and then clicked to run it, it appeared to run for a split second, but then displayed this error:
  • Install Failed The Install of 'Delete Database' was not successful for all the selected products. For more information, click on the install log link at the bottom of the dialog. Delete Database One or more extensions are for Visual Studio Code. Try installing them in Visual Studio Code.
• Here is a picture of the error for reference: deletedb-0.0.3.vsix install fails with error
• Perhaps this is error is something related to my environment, but I am not sure. Posting this in the event that others experience it as well.
• If you follow the link, View Install Log, it shows this output:

Has anyone else experienced this? Or is there posssibly something wrong with my environment?

This is the intended behavior, although not really user friendly. For 2. you are supposed to hit the Install from VSIX button. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-gallery#_install-from-a-vsix

maybe add this to your readme so people can just read it in the details when they download your extension. idk just a suggestion.
