There is a way to get rid of that message:

Go into your user settings and set “useModernNet” to true. Restart VS Code.
Open a folder with a C# project to activate the C# plugin, watch it installs the new OmniSharp. Once done, set “useModernNet” back to false if you don’t use it , close the Output panel, and restart VS Code.
The message should no longer appear and the Output panel should not show up automatically on the next launch once you close it.

The reason seems to be how the new logic handles install. Now because of the “useModernNet” stuff, when the setting is set to false, the plugin would skip installing the new OmniSharp. But because it is a part of the dependency list, and the person did not include logic to remove it from the dependency list and still pass in the entire dependency list, so at every launch C# plugin would try to install it again, but then new logic would skip it, again. https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/blob/752a56a7a079beeeb5bc36860a4b1fa0b659fabb/src/main.ts#L231-L233 https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/blob/752a56a7a079beeeb5bc36860a4b1fa0b659fabb/src/InstallRuntimeDependencies.ts#L13-L17 https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/blob/752a56a7a079beeeb5bc36860a4b1fa0b659fabb/src/packageManager/downloadAndInstallPackages.ts#L25-L28
