Fail to install 'ms-python.python'

[yanggehua]

• VSCode Version: VS 1.45.0 insiders and 1.44.0 stable
• OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Go to Extensions panel
2. Select "Python" module (from microsoft)
3. Click install
4. Got error message: Faile to install 'ms-python.python'

I also tried manual installation. After downloaded the plugin and ran VS selector, it has the following error:

I suspect it is interfered by other VS installations.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

Please follow these steps

• Help -> Toggle Developer Tools -> Network
• Then check for any network failed requests while browsing and installing the extensions if found all requests fails then its probably a proxy or DNS issue at your end.
• To confirm its a DNS issue check if you can access this page https://ms-python.gallerycdn.vsassets.io/extensions/ms-python/python/2019.8.29288/1565127378610/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.Icons.Default, if you cannot please try configuring your DNS like pointing to 1.1.1.1 as suggested here? https://1.1.1.1/dns/. Otherwise please contact your network administrator.
• If it is not a network issue, please share the logs from the following locations
  • Help -> Toggle Developer Tools -> Console
  • View -> Command Pallette... -> Toggle Shared Process -> Console
  • View -> Open View… -> Log (Shared)
  • View -> Open View… -> Log (Window)

Try installing the VSIX you downloaded using the command Install From VSIX... from VS Code.

I was following your instructions. The last step seemed to work. So I use the command Install from VSIX ... and browse locally the downloaded file ms-python.python-2020.3.71113.vsix. The extension was then installed corrected (asking for a reload).

There was no network problem. When I clicked on "Install" button inside the extension panel and when it failed, the only output I got was:

Installing Extension Python failed: Manifest is not found.  extensionsActions.ts:1752

Enable log level to trace using Set Log Level command and please provide logs from here.

Strange. The installation of Python module in VSC goes well today. I did not encounter the same error previously. As I don't have a way to reproduce the bug with higher log level, I guess the only thing we can do is to just close the ticket.
