Message in visual studio "This extension is scheduled for install"

Question

I have downloaded RDLC extension from visual studio 2017 Tools -> "Extensions & Updates" successfully & its showing me message as

"This extension is scheduled for install".

So I have restarted my VS2017 (VS Professional 2017 version 15.8.6 ) but still its showing same message & it seems RDLC extension is still not added in VS2017.

I also closed VS using both menu and the close window button (X) in VS but still no luck.

Answer 1

I found the solution. There was another VS instance was running.

I closed all my running VS instances & then "VSIX Installer" installed all my extension.

Answer 2

Try, File -> Close instead closing VS by clicking X

Or else, restarting the PC should work according to the warning shown in the window Or else, You can change your settings

Answer 3

Even though you close your visual studio instances, there may be another instance running in background. So make sure you closed all instances in Task manager -> Details. In my case it started to install once i closed all instances.
