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, no student can install an extension (.vsix). The following error appears

I cannot understand this error. Can someone explain it to me? The students do not have write permissions to C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code.... Can this be the reason?
Within my private environment, the installation works under similar conditions.
