I am having a similar problem installing WiX v3 - Visual Studio 2022 Extension to a fresh install of Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition 17.6. I get the error:

This extension is not installable on any currently installed products.

My full install log with the error is as follow:

I was able to install v1.0.0.22 on VS Professional v17.6.1 and v17.6.2 and create new projects and open files.

VSIX installation is controlled by Visual Studio so there isn't anything we can do to resolve your installation failure. Instead, you'll need to follow up with Visual Studio. We've been directed to send people to this forum: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com
