Python debugger doesn't recognize VSC

[Tamagotchi20]

Hi
I'm testing the newly integrated Python debugging function of TestStand documented https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/teststand/page/debug-python-modules.html.
But there I have to questions:

1. In the documentation is written that I need to install "NI TestStand Support for Debugging Python Code".
   I couldn't find this VSC extension. Whats meant by this?
2. If I try without installing this non existing extension I get the Message Box "Visual Studio Code is not installed" but I have it installed.

What did I overseen?

Many thanks for any help.

Tamagotchi20,

VSCode has several installers for Windows. Below contains the snapshot of available installers in VSCode. TestStand supports only User Installer x86/x64 and System Installer x86/x64. Can you confirm that you have installed VSCode which is supported by TestStand?

"NI TestStand Support for Debugging Python Code" VSCode extension is not uploaded to the VSCode extension server. Installing TestStand should automatically install required VSCode extension. If you install VSCode after installing TestStand, activating TestStand using TestStand version selector should install required VSCode extension.

Hi Shashidhar

Your suggestion was the solution. With the system installation of VSC everything works as expected.
Many thanks for your help.
