formats, divided along two separate attributes. First, you can choose from three installer types—System, User, and Zip:
➤ System Installer—This was the original installer for Visual Studio Code. It requires local
Administrator privileges and places the executable and supporting files in the Program Files
directory structure.
➤ User Installer—A more recent addition to Visual Studio Code, this installer does not require
Administrator permission to be successful. Instead of placing the files into the Program Files
structure, you can find the files in AppData\Local\Programs in your user directory. Because
this is actually the preferred installer, you will be asked if you want to uninstall any versions
that had been installed using the System Installer.
When Visual Studio Code is installed using one of these two installers, you will automatically be notified when an update is available. The pace of change for Visual Studio Code
means that updates are delivered approximately once a month.
➤ Zip—The Zip option is just a ZIP compressed file containing the contents that are placed
into AppData\Local\Programs by the User Installer. Once you have opened the file, you can
copy the contents to whatever location you prefer. However, you’re responsible for creating
any links to the executable (called code.exe) that you want to place on your desktop or task
bar. Also, you won’t automatically receive updates. If you wish to use a more recent version,
you’ll need to download a new ZIP file and copy the files over again.
The second attribute available for the installer has a value of either 32-bit or 64-bit. This refers to the
width of the data units supported by the CPU on your device. If you are running 32-bit Windows,
choose the 32-bit version of the desired installer. If you are running 64-bit Windows, you can choose
either the 32-bit or 64-bit version.
NOTE It will come as a disappointment to some, but this option does not mean
that Visual Studio Code is a 64-bit application. It’s not. Visual Studio Code is a
32-bit application regardless of whether or not it’s running on a 64-bit version of
Windows.
For both the System and User Installers, running the installation program provides a similar experience. The following screens make up the installation process:
➤ Welcome Screen—Describes what you’re about to do (that being, installing Visual Studio
Code). The description indicates whether you are using the User or System Installer.
➤ License Agreement—The license agreement for Visual Studio Code is presented. You must
accept the agreement before you can install the software.
➤ Select Destination Location—In this screen, shown in Figure 1-2, you choose the directory
into which Visual Studio Code will be installed. The default is different for the User and
System versions. For the User installation, it is placed in C:\Users\
AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code. For the System installation, it is placed in
C:\Program Files (386)\Microsoft VS Code. The (386) part of the directory is left off if
you’re running on a 32-bit operating system.
