Windows: pip install packages fails with PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

[dsaltm]

When I save (and auto update) I'm getting permission errors with VSCode in admin mode on Windows using Blender 4.2 located in Program Files...

Extension: unexpected error updating wheels, this is is a bug!

yes, this is a known issue, if you want to use vs code with global blender installation you need to install required python modules manually. Similar to #169. I might fix it by putting the modules in directory %appdata$\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.2\scripts\modules. Just making note for myself for future. Reference: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/4.2/editors/preferences/file_paths.html#script-directories

this issue should no longer occur after version [0.0.22] - 2024-09-04. Please check.
