I tried to install the extension in Visual Studio 2019 Preview version 1.1 but it failed. The install log states the following:

2019-01-07 3:21:26 PM - Extension cannot be installed to the following products due to missing prerequisites:

I believe that this is because the version range for these two packages is invalid. They should end in 17.0), not 16.0).

I used the PowerShell module VSSetup (version 2.2.5) and the command (Get-VSSetupInstance -Prerelease | Select-VSSetupInstance -Version "16.0").Packages | Where-Object Id -Like "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.*" to confirm both prerequisites currently have a version number of 16.0.28315.86 in 2019 Preview 1.1.

I've included my install log: VSIXInstaller_0654f223-4d1f-4632-bf6c-65b98cde0833.log

It is true for the first dependency.
But the second is no longer available. So that it must be removed at all from the manifest. I don't know the other way.

By the way, where do you execute that PowerShell script?

I have both dependencies. It is possible I have some payload installed that you don't. Here is a partial output from the PowerShell commands I mentioned.

I installed the VSSetup module using Install-Module. I found out about that module and how to use it from the following StackOverflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45330187/745414

This works now; sorry for the mistake.
