Installing Xenko for the first time fails, VS extension issue

See original GitHub issue

Release Type: http://xenko.com/files/XenkoSetup.exe

Version: 3.0.0.8 and 3.1.0.1-beta02-0539

Platform(s): Windows 10

Describe the bug Installing either the 3.0 or 3.1 version fails due to failing to install the VS extension. This is the first time I’m trying out Xenko on this computer.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run Xenko.exe.
The launcher says that no version of Xenko is installed. It asks you to install the latest. Confirm.
It also asks to install a VS extension. Confirm.
It produces an error (see logs.).

Expected behavior No errors, functioning Xenko installation.
