@GuruprasadYellappaK I used the steps in this link to help point me in the right direction. After some tinkering, I got everything to work (both OmniSharp's integration with VSCode as well as the dotnet core debugger). The only thing odd was I had to put the files in the bin\omnisharp\ folder, not the .bin\omnisharp\ (note the . prefixing bin) as the link above suggested.

I'm running Windows 10 64bit and .Net Core SDK/CLI v1.0.4 with VSCode v1.14.2. Here are the steps:

1. Install OmniSharp in VSCode and then close VSCode
2. If it does not already exist, create bin\omnisharp and .debugger folders under %userprofile%\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.csharp-1.11.0\
3. In the runtimeDependencies section of this packages.json, download the zip files for OmniSharp (.NET 4.6 / x64) and for .NET Core Debugger (Windows / x64)
4. Unzip omnisharp-win-x64-<version>.zip into %userprofile%\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.csharp-1.11.0\bin\omnisharp\
5. Unzip coreclr-debug-win7-x64.zip into %userprofile%\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.csharp-1.11.0\.debugger\
6. Launch VSCode and run thru a simple Hello World dotnet core example... everything should work.

I hope the info help. :)

@GuruprasadYellappaK The later versions have changed the .vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.csharp-bin\omnisharp to
.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.csharp-.omnisharp. Create this directory, and extract the zip into here. This resolved the same issue for me.

[Petermarcu]

@DustinCampbell @gregg-miskelly where should this issue be tracked?

[DustinCampbell]

This is https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/issues/1712.

[Petermarcu]

Closing this issue here.

This works great, thanks.
I'm behind work proxy which just wont let VSCode get stuff.
So, I manually downloaded these:
Downloading package 'OmniSharp (.NET 4.6 / x64)' 'https://omnisharpdownload.blob.core.windows.net/ext/omnisharp-win-x64-1.21.0.zip'
package '.NET Core Debugger (Windows / x64)'
'https://vsdebugger.blob.core.windows.net/coreclr-debug-1-10-1/coreclr-debug-win7-x64.zip'

Then created
.omnisharp
.debugger

directories in %userprofile%.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.csharp-1.12.2\

unzip each archive to relevant directory.

(Re)Start VSCode, and all works.

Thanks,
Sean.

I'm using OmniSharp 1.13.1 and this is how I fixed a similar issue on my machine:

I looked at the JS source code, which was responsible for setting up both the extensions

%userprofile%\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.csharp-1.13.1\out\src\coreclr-debug\install.js

%userprofile%\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.csharp-1.13.1\out\src\omnisharp\launcher.js

Once I knew where they expected extensions, all I had to do was:

1. Download the .zip files it was complaining about
2. Create .debugger and .omnisharp directories under %userprofile%\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.csharp-1.13.1\
3. Unzip omnisharp-win-x64-1.26.3.zip into .omnisharp
4. Unzip coreclr-debug-win7-x64.zip into .debugger

You can't create folder with [.] prefix from the Folder Explorer so you'll have to use

cd %userprofile%\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.csharp-1.13.1
mkdir .debugger
mkdir .omnisharp

For some reason OmniSharp or VS Code ignore my http.proxy settings and I don't know why... :-1:

[yehanghanGE]

@dmumladze Thanks. Your answer is the only works. Also found that http.proxy setting never works.

[gokalpaltun]

Because of the proxy thing.

Go to user settings in VS Code and put that in here
"http.proxy": "http://url:port"

for example:
//100.100.100.100:1010

of course your proxy from the Browser->Settings->Proxy->Lan
