About the VM with Visual Studio Code installed

Question

When I sysprepped the VM with Visual Studio code installed and deployed it to the session host for AVD, Visual Studio code was not included. Do you know the reason?

Answer 1

Did you follow the below documentation to create the "Golden Image"

Hello Noriko

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

Adding more details to previous response from sreejukg.
Based on the issue description, looks like VScode was installed into the user profile which is deleted during sysprep process. It can be installed as a user or in system (with admin permissions) Ref: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/windows

If you want it to be available after sysprep, then it should be installed in the system. This way it will be available with the image.

Hope this helps.

thank you. I solved it here.
Since the installed type was for the "User" plan, the installation destination was installed under C:\Users, so it could not be seen when connecting to AVD.
When I set the plan to "System" type, it was installed in C:\Program Files, so I was able to use it in multiple sessions.
