Summary

Hi guys,

I have fresh installed VS Code and try to install the Powershell extension from MS. Unfortunatelly there is just an error, that the downloaded Zip is corrupted. No infromation about which URL was accessed, nor where to find the corrupted Zip File… Any ideas? Other extensions, like the “poweshellprotools” installs with not problems.
