Solution

  • I assume you are using express edition( may be not ). As the error explains that the extension which you are trying to install is not supported to the VS edition you are using. There are restrictions on what you can install to each edition, Some extensions are available only for Community edition, enterprise. I guess you get the point. Paid edition supports more features and extensions than the free ones. But community edition must have it all but its not for enterprise use.
