@leoxoxo which prerequisites is it complaining about?

This is the message I get. Do you know of a location i can find a log? I have Wixtoolset 3.6, 3.11, and 4.0. Is there something else that i am missing? Thanks in advance.

After playing around with the manifest i got to this point

11/2/2020 3:13:40 PM - Extension cannot be installed to the following products due to missing prerequisites:
11/2/2020 3:13:40 PM - Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2017

There is only one prerequisite in the vsix manifest:

    <Prerequisites>
        <Prerequisite Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor" Version="[15.8.27729.1,17.0)" DisplayName="Visual Studio core editor" />
    </Prerequisites>

Maybe your VisualStudio is outdated?

@tom-englert Thank you for the suggestion to update VisualStudio. That did the trick.
