My gist has no problem because it's working with VSCode from Microsoft.

I need the GIST ID to check.
Also post the developer console logs

Same issue here on Linux Mint 32bit. No errors, it says "done" after the download, but no extensions are installed even after a restart. Also it doesn't apply the settings. Can't share the gist, because some settings might contain sensitive info.

Possibly related to #331? VSCode OSS uses different directory names

It looks like. I would suggest expanding advanced options so that people could set their paths manually there. Not the best solution, but should be enough for a start. This issue seems to be very old.
