Hi my friend, I'm getting the following issue when I try to install the plugin: Error: Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/litehelpers/cordova-sqlite-ext via registry.

Let me know what you think. Regards, Nicholls

Evidently you tried to install the plugin from GitHub. It is highly recommended to install the npm package instead. There is a higher chance that the tooling will track the actual plugin version in places such as config.xml and maybe package.json.

The log shows that your Visual Studio tooling tried to install from the master branch instead of simply installing from the default branch. (I noticed that PhoneGap Build was doing this as well.) Not supported by this project.
