Notebook doesn't support dependencies with higher versions

[jerrysoft-x]

Type: Bug

When creating a notebook in Azure Data Studio, and switch to Python kernel. It prompts to install dependencies jupyter, notebook, and ipykernel. However, I already have installed these dependencies with higher versions. The tool has no other option but still go to installing them, and ended up with an error

AttributeError: module 'setuptools.msvc' has no attribute 'msvc14_get_vc_env'

I had this error code and this is how I solved it. Based on some info from this link explaining how to install Python in an offline environment

Step 0? I previously uninstalled all my previous versions of Python

Step 1: Go to the link and click on the a hyperlink titled "Azure Data Studio Python package" which will prompt you to download a zip file

Step 2: Unzip the zip file and place all internal contents into a new directory. I placed mine in C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\azuredatastudio-python

Step 3: Go back to Azure Data Studio and click the dropdown to switch to the Python Kernel again. When it prompts you to Browse for the directory, point to the directory created previously. (This is where the python.exe file lives)

This solution allowed the ADS manager to complete the rest of the pip installations. Best of luck!
