Subject: Assistance Needed with Power Query SDK Installation in Visual Studio Code (VSCode)
Hi,
I am trying to create a Custom Connector in the Power Query Editor and have been working on developing the query in VSCode using the Power Query SDK.
However, I am encountering an issue while attempting to install the Power Query SDK package in VSCode. The error message I am receiving is as follows:
Can anyone please suggest a solution to resolve this issue?
Thanks for assistance.
Best regards,
Shakeel

Hi @shakeelahmad ,
Thanks for ZhangKun reply.
You can try to install it manually by entering commands using the terminal console
code --install-extension PowerQuery.vscode-powerquery-sdk
Final output
You can use Ctrl+Shift+X to open the list of extensions to see if they have been installed successfully
Best regards,
Albert He

Thanks @ZhangKun for your quick response but , It did not help.
When I tried to install through your suggested path , it trigger VSCode and giving below error message:
If this is the case, there is nothing I can do except reinstalling vscode or copying the plugin folder from the vscode extension directory of another computer where it is installed.
