Still, choosing between Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio is not as simple as choosing between a lightweight editor and a heavyweight IDE. Still, even updating a dozen extensions in Visual Studio Code takes much less time than Visual Studio used to take to rebuild the symbol tables of a large C++ project.


I said usually, not always: Visual Studio Code itself needs a monthly update, and the many extensions I have installed often need their own updates. Meanwhile, Visual Studio Code usually starts up quickly enough that I can be productive in a few minutes, even for large projects. It’s now a non-issue even in huge Visual Studio 2022 projects. The startup overhead of Visual Studio has decreased significantly over the years, by the way. When I worked on a C++ project with ~2 million lines of code, I also jump-started each day’s work by automatically running a batch script that did a code checkout and full rebuild of the product in the wee hours. I would keep the IDE open all day as I went through develop/test/debug cycles to avoid another startup delay.

I also tried to install an earlier version with 2019 Community Edition, but it fails at the exact same point with same error.For decades, when I got to work in the morning, I would start Microsoft Visual Studio (or one of its predecessors, such as Visual C++ or Visual InterDev), then brew tea and possibly attend a morning meeting while it went through its laborious startup. Haven't changed any preferences or install destination. NET Desktop development and clicked on install button. I've administrator rights on my computer and I granted Installer to modify the system. My system is brand new Windows10, just have installed a few weeks ago. Verify that you have access to that directory. Message Details: Error writing to file: stdole.dll.
