How do I fix unins000 exe error?

Most of your unins000.exe problems should be resolved if the file is placed in the correct file path directory, but it's a good idea to verify it is fixed. Confirm that the error is resolved by attempting to open HxD Hex Editor and / or conducting the operation that triggers the issue.

Right-click the file or folder, and then click Properties. Click the Security tab. Under Group or user names, click your name to see the permissions that you have. Click Edit, click your name, select the check boxes for the permissions that you must have, and then click OK.

It seems like using the default download is built to be installed in your AppData folder. Should you want to (like me) install it in your Program Files folder, go to https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/75367 and follow the link there to https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/?dv=win64 and download the exe from there. This seems to have solved my problem.
