If you work in an offline environment or repeatedly see this error, try downloading a version of the extension with all the dependencies pre-included from https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/releases, then use the "Install from VSIX" command in VS Code to install it.

@Gan-Jason Your http-proxy settings might be misconfigured. You could try downloading/installing the offline vsix (or setting the C_Cpp.updateChannel to "Insiders).

Hey,I am installing this online and it still give me such an error.Should I perhaps dobwload for offline enviroment?I don't even know why this problem occured in the first place.

[sean-mcmanus]

@EndOfTheGlory It could be some proxy issue from our OS-specific download -- after VS Code allows OS-specific vsix's this issue should get fixed. Yeah, the workaround is to use the Install from VSIX command with the "offline" vsix on our releases page.

Hi, I get the same error:
Installing package 'C/C++ language components (Windows)'
Failed at stage: installPackages
Error: end of central directory record signature not found

After I download offline cpptools-osx.vix, it shows timeout error:
PS C:> code --install-extension cpptools-osx.vix
Installing extensions...
connect ETIMEDOUT 13.107.6.175:443
Failed Installing Extensions: cpptools-osx.vix
PS C:> code --install-extension cpptools-osx.vix

connect ETIMEDOUT 13.107.6.175:443

Can you please take a look? Thanks.

Never mind, I download cpptools-win32.vsix and install it successfully. I install in Windows 10.
What OS should be used for cpptools-osx.vix?

@philipzhong222

cpptools-linux.vsix - for 64-bit Linux
cpptools-linux32.vsix - for 32-bit Linux
cpptools-osx.vsix - for macOS
cpptools-win32.vsix - for 64-bit & 32-bit Windows

@Genal-Delta1 You've hit some unknown download/install issue. Can you try again or download/install the offline vsix at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/releases/download/0.28.0/cpptools-win32.vsix (run the "Install from VSIX" command in VS Code).
