I try to install vm from the extension manager and getting some Prerequisites for the installation.

When I select the individual package some old python installation is trying to install.

Installing manually should just need the Linux Workload.

What is the full version of Visual Studio from Help>About?

If you go to Tools > Get Tools and Features, and then install the "Linux and Embedded Development with C++" workload, this should install all required components:

is it mixed now? I follow this instruction and installed C++ for desktops.

https://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Getting-started.html

In the past there was a linux and an Arduino vm version. I just installed it with the vs extension manager. Can find the two version anymore...

It automatically installed the individual components 

- Cmaking tools for linux
- c++ for linux development
- phython

It seems that is choose the wrong things to install automatically...

I think it is based on a history install I once did, where it's referring to.

The C++ for Desktop will cause no issues with Visual Micro, and is only required when using older versions of the product.

The new Intellisense system uses the Linux tools to give much more accurate Intellisense hints.

We have corrected the documentation page to ensure no-one else runs into this issue.

Can you confirm if Visual Micro is now working as expected for your projects?

Strange engough when I uncheck the c++ for desktop completely it doesn't give me that warning anymore.  I also closed down the VS installer and restarted it. Maybe it detected then...

Visual Micro only needs the tools installed with the "Linux Embedded Development with C++" workload (which include "Cmakie tools for linux" and "c++ for linux development").

There is no issue with removing the C++ Desktop workload as this is not required, which will be why it does not warn about that workload specifically.

That's correct, and shows it is using the latest intellisense and project system.
