  • OS Version: Windows 7

I have a very basic question. Currently the installation folder for the extensions is %USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions but unfortunately I not allowed to install more the 100 mb on my userprofile. Is there a possibility to change the location of the extension folder?

Best regards and thanks in advance,

Simon.

You can use --extensionHomePath when starting vscode from the command line.

Please, reopen the ticket since it did not work for me. I copy the extension to C:\Project\extension. And tried to start vs code in the powershell with code --extensionHomePath "C:\Project\extension" but the extension are not availble. Thanks in advance
