Dev Box VM Details (please complete the following information):
OS version: Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise on Windows 11 Enterprise + Microsoft 365 Apps 23H2
Additional context
This is because when dev box task is triggered, system role is used.
When the user is system role, the vsix file will be downloaded under C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile
When VSIXInstaller.exe want to use this vsix file, it cannot find the vsix file. Because the vsix file is under limited directory.
Suggestion: When downloading the vsix file, put it under other normal folder like "C:\temp-vsix" instead of [IO.Path]::GetTempPath()
