Does not install correctly

[MikaelH68]

Hi
When I install Arduino Community Edition i get the following error: [error] Error: Cannot find module 'file-uri-to-path'
(the full output below).
I have vs code 1.103.2 installed on Windows 11.
Further Arduino IDE 2.3.6 (with path: "C:\Program Files\Arduino IDE\Arduino IDE.exe")
I have also installed Arduino CLI ( nightly-20250331) (w path "C:\Program Files\Arduino CLI\arduino-cli.exe")

I have tried many (all?) combination of setting paths to the Arduino libraries, tried both IDE and CLI, re-installed vs, Arduino-IDE, restarts etc but it still doesn't work. If I ignore the error nothing happens when selecting "Library manager", "Select board" etc.

I am coming from eclipse, so I am a newbie on vs. However, the C/C++ extensions installed work beautifully.

Any hints on how I can fix or where to look for the problem?

Thanks

Here is the full output:

Really weird...after so many restarts of vs as well as the computer, it seems like now I made another restart of the computer and it works, ie i can get hold of Board manager, Library manager and all other stuff. Still I cannot upload a sketch but that I assume is another problem....
And I should also mention that the output above remains but now at least it works even if I just ignore the error message.
