I see this issue also meet by other user with VS code 1.81.1 when install other extension. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41530269/error-end-of-central-directory-record-signature-not-found-while-installing-ion And there's also a workaround in above link. Would you like to have a try? The Azurite extension vsix file can be download from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Azurite.azurite, by click "Download Extension" link in the right of page.

@blueww Thanks a lot for the response.

I am using devcontainers and my workaround was to install azurite as part of the docker build as root using npm:

ARG UBUNTU_VERSION=22.04
FROM ubuntu:$UBUNTU_VERSION

ARG USERNAME=vscode
ARG USER_UID=1000
ARG USER_GID=$USER_UID
ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

# Create non-root user
RUN groupadd --gid $USER_GID $USERNAME \
    && useradd --uid $USER_UID --gid $USER_GID -m $USERNAME \
    && apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y sudo \
    && echo $USERNAME ALL=\(root\) NOPASSWD:ALL > /etc/sudoers.d/$USERNAME \
    && chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/$USERNAME

# Install npm and nodejs
RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | bash - \
    && apt-get install -y nodejs \
    npm

#azurite.azurite vscode extension not working properly
RUN npm install -g azurite

#switch to non-root user
USER $USERNAME
WORKDIR /home

and then in my postStartCommand, I check to see if I have the azurite.azurite installed and if not then start the services right away with azurite installed as part of the container:

extension_name="azurite.azurite"
if code --list-extensions | grep -q "$extension_name"; then
    echo "Extension $extension_name is installed"
else
    echo "Extension $extension_name is not installed, so lets start it ourselves"
    #run as root
    sudo azurite -s -l /azurite -d /azurite/debug.log
    echo "Successfully started all of Azurite Services"
fi

and this works just fine!
