Error when installing VS code extension

VEX V5 Technical Support

I was trying to install the Vex Robotics extension for my VS code, it did not work.

after doing a little bit of digging I found this error

2025-03-19 15:19:37.240 [error] Activating extension VEXRobotics.vexcode failed due to an error:
2025-03-19 15:19:37.240 [error] Error: No native build was found for platform=win32 arch=arm64 runtime=electron abi=132 uv=1 armv=8 libc=glibc node=20.18.2 electron=34.2.0

any help would be appreciated

Unfortunately the VEX Extension does not currently support Windows ARM.

It looks like one of the node package dependencies does not have the needed bindings binary for windows arm. This is probably causing the extension to crash on launch.

I’ll look into it, but I probably won’t have time until after VEX Worlds.
