[renderer1] [error] ["Extract: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir

[Jaftali]

We are a school and would like to use Visual Studio Code together with the Omnisharp extension.

The students' working environment has the following characteristics

• Server-stored home directories
• Active Directory environment
• Samba 4.x is used as Active Directory domain controller
• Students do not have write access to C:.
• Extensions are provided locally as a .vsix
• file Access to the Marketplace is not permitted
• --extensions-dir=H:\vscode\ext is used to redirect the extension directory to the student's server-stored home directory when starting Visual Studio Code.

Unfortunately, students can't install an extension (.vsix). The following error appears:

This behaviour cannot be easily reproduced in another active directory domain. Does anyone know anything about this error message?

I don't know anything about that error, but the code in question is part of VS Code rather than this extension. So maybe someone in VS Code could help.
