Installation on VS Code got stuck

Describe the bug

Maybe not a bug but an issue with my vs code setup. Just need some help to troubleshoot the cause.
The installation in VS Code cannot be completed, a notification continuing showing up on the screen and I found this error in the exthost.log file

I'm not sure what would cause that.

Have you installed it before successfully on this machine? Do you have the .NET 9 SDK installed?

Hi Jon Thank you for your quick reply. Answering your questions, I did installed the Polyglot notebook  when it was in GA for vs code and vs studio,  but ti did not using much after that. This is happening since I tried to use the Polygot Notebooks in Vs Code again, so when you try to open or create a new notebook it begin installing the version of .Net Interactive but never end, doesn't matter what version. I have the last version of  .Net 9 SDK installed. The VS Code I am referring is installed in a remote shared VM where I connected using an Azure Virtual Desktopn, my hope was that you know of a different log where I can find more information about the installation of the extension. Attached is a short video of what is happening, please check the botton bar. Thanks again.

@RlG1962 The attachment didn't come through via email. Could you try uploading it on GitHub?

Hi Jon
Sorry by delay.
Please see attached the short video about the issue, I let the installation working last night and this morning it is still there.
I honestly think it is a firewall setup but in order to help our infra team to make the right firewall or group policy I need to know what is happening.

Thank you so much for your help

Hi, I had the same issue. After a couple of hours, I was able to have .NET kernel in my VS Code (for Polyglot Notebooks)

1. Close VS Code,
2. Go, to C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\NuGet\
3. Delete the file Nuget.Config
4. Restart VS Code, and I am now able to to use Polyglot Noteboook with .NET kernel (and a new Nuget.Config file was created)
   p.s. I am on .NET 10 SDK (I uninstalled 9 to try version 10, but still didn't work until I deleted Nuget.Config file)

Hope that helps

@RlG1962 Did @NosMaisons's advice work?

If not, could you open the output window send get the outputs from Polyglot Notebook: logger and Polyglot Notebook: diagnostics?

Thanks!

Thank you @jonsequitur and @NosMaisons
Just minutes ago before you asked me to look at the polyglot logger I tried the solution added by @NosMaisons and that fix the issue. The installation succeded without
I think that is the right approach in this case.
I'll try to see if I have some logger from before and I'll upload it here.

Thank you again your help!
