C# Extension version: 1.16.1

Steps to reproduce

Open a node project.
Configure a type: 'node' project in launch.json.
Press F5 to begin debugging.
–> Notice that Output window says it is installing C# dependencies.
Disable C# extension.
Repeat step (3).
–> Notice that the project correctly starts debugging.

Expected behavior

When debugging a non-C# project, C# extension doesn’t install a bunch of stuff onto my system before letting me debug my project.

Actual behavior

C# extension interrupts my process and makes me install a bunch of stuff that I will not be using in current debugging session.

I am facing the same phenomenon. I created a Node.js project from scratch. When I pressed F5, before configuring any run task, it went into:

`Installing C# dependencies… Platform: win32, x86_64

@MicahZoltu Yup. It will do it once, and then it is done.

This issue has been fixed in 1.18 (see #2658). So I will resolve this as a duplicate
