When I try to activate DSim in VSCode I'm getting this: "Failed to activate version "20240422.0.0" of "DSim". Reason: DSim version "20240422.0.0" not found."

If anyone is experiencing this please give me an advice. Thanks in advance

    Is there a 2024022.0.0 folder under the installation path located at:

    • Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\metrics-ca\dsim
    • Linux: $HOME/metrics-ca/dsim

    Did you install DSim version 20240422.0.0?

    Does it appear under your LOCAL TOOLS INSTALLATION?

    Hi, thanks for the answer, that is just the issue. I'm downloading DSim here.

    But it does not appear under LOCAL TOOLS INSTALLATION

    Maybe it's an issue with downloads paths or something like that.

    Thanks, I got the source of the issue, for some reason "AppData" folder and subfolders inside it were set as "Hidden" and that was not letting VSCode access installation files, the solution is to uncheck "Hidden" property and do it for all subfolders, so VSCode can read it.
