    I see you're having trouble with Visual Studio 2022 Community when trying to install any VSIX packages. That can be really frustrating! It sounds like you’ve already tried a few troubleshooting steps, like reinstalling and clearing cache.

    Based on what you've described, here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

    Uninstall Visual Studio Installer: Sometimes, the Visual Studio Installer itself can become corrupt. Go ahead and uninstall it.

    Delete Installer Folder: After uninstalling, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer and delete this folder along with its contents. This ensures that no corrupted files are lingering around.

    Reinstall the Installer: Download the Visual Studio Installer again from the Visual Studio page and make sure to run the setup as an administrator.

    Repair Visual Studio: Once the installer is reinstalled, you can try repairing your Visual Studio installation. Launch the Visual Studio Installer, find your installed version, and select the “Repair” option. This might fix any underlying issues with the installation.

    Check for Updates: Ensure that your Visual Studio is updated to the latest version. Sometimes bugs are fixed in newer releases. For your version, you’re currently on 17.14.16, so check if there's an update available.
