Unable to detect Visual studio Code as External IDE for python scriping

I would like to set the Visual studio code as an external Python IDE. 

I follow the link below.

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-python-ide

 

But The screen below doesn't show  VSCode to select as external IDE  despite the fact that it has been already installed in my laptop including Python in  Anaconda as the highlight in the screenshot below.

The Anaconda has been installed in  D:\Aanconda

I try opening the external  IDE,  but it launches PythonEditorWrapper instead.
