How to install Python Extension in VScode for all users of a machine

Question

I am trying install the Python Extension for VSCode for all users of a machine, but it is getting installed for only the current user. Can anyone help me on this.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can try to change the root directory for extensions when launching code with the code --extensions-dir command . You could also try and script the installation of the extension from a downloaded VSIX at start-up or something. Otherwise I think extension management is designed to be a personal thing and not system controlled (especially with VS Code itself support relocatable installs).

Answer 2

Issue has been resolved after saving the path "C:\Users<userProfile>.vscode\extensions" using the our Profile management tool. the data related to the extensions is stored in above mentioned path. so after saving the path users were able to add the extensions.
