Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

  • VS Code Version: 1.100.1
  • OS Version: Windows 10

Steps to Reproduce:

Attempt to install the User installer of Visual Studio Code on a system where the User's folder is on a drive than C:\

The installer always puts the installation files at expected filepath but on the C:\ rather than the correct drive.

I work on a system where the Users folder is setup on the D:\ drive, including my own. When I go to install VS Code on that system (user install) it always installs it on C:\ rather than the correct D:\ drive. I checked all the environment variables just to make sure they were all correct and it is.

It's as though it uses the %HOMEPATH% variable just fine but doesn't check the %HOMEDRIVE%, and is just assuming the C:\ drive.
