Unable to install extensions in Visual studio 2019 and it fails with error Invalid TimeStamp or Digital Signature as none

0

I am unable to install most of the Visual studio extensions(Ex: Episerver, NPM Task runner). During the installation it shows “Digital Signature: Invalid TimeStamp” or “Digital Signature: Null”. Although for some extensions it is showing “Digital Signature: Invalid TimeStamp” but it successfully completes the installation.(Ex: Microsoft visual studio installer projects) Visual studio Community edition version: 16.6.5 (2019).

Below is the error log: 8/7/2020 10:12:29 AM - Capping recursion at 5 directories in each extension root due to 'default limit'. 8/7/2020 10:12:29 AM - Found 'C:\USERS\SARRMARPA\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\VISUALSTUDIO\16.0_6EE4662A\EXTENSIONS\pondhjej.glj\extension.vsixmanifest' 8/7/2020 10:12:29 AM - Found 'C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT\EXTENSIONMANAGER\EXTENSIONS\Microsoft\Windows Kits\10\Desktop SDK\extension.vsixmanifest' 8/7/2020 10:12:29 AM - Found 'C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT\EXTENSIONMANAGER\EXTENSIONS\Microsoft\Windows Kits\10\SDK ARM Additions\extension.vsixmanifest' 8/7/2020 10:12:29 AM - Found 'C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\COMMON FILES\MICROSOFT\EXTENSIONMANAGER\EXTENSIONS\Microsoft\Windows Kits\10\Windows Store SDK\extension.vsixmanifest' 8/7/2020 10:12:29 AM - Skipping 'C:\Users\sarrmarpa\AppData\Local\Microsoft SDKs' as it doesn't exist 8/7/2020 10:12:29 AM - Beginning to install extension to Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019... 8/7/2020 10:12:29 AM - VSIX TaskScheduler: VSIX Update Configuration task has not been successfully registered. 8/7/2020 10:12:29 AM - No mapping between account names and security IDs was done 8/7/2020 10:13:18 AM - Skipping non-applicable package Microsoft.Windows.UniversalCRT.Msu.8: The current OS Version '6.3.9600.0' is not in the supported version range '[6.2,6.3)'. 8/7/2020 10:13:18 AM - Skipping non-applicable package Microsoft.VisualStudio.NuGet.PowershellBindingRedirect: The current OS Version '6.3.9600.0' is not in the supported version range '[6.1,6.2)'. 8/7/2020 10:13:18 AM - Skipping non-applicable package Microsoft.Windows.UniversalCRT.Msu.7: The current OS Version '6.3.9600.0' is not in the supported version range '[6.1,6.2)'. 8/7/2020 10:13:18 AM - Skipping non-applicable package Microsoft.DiagnosticsHub.KB2882822.Win7: The current OS Version '6.3.9600.0' is not in the supported version range '[6.1,6.2)'. 8/7/2020 10:13:18 AM - Skipping non-applicable package Microsoft.Azure.PowerShellNew: Required conditions are not satisfied: Powershell5 8/7/2020 10:13:18 AM - Skipping non-applicable package Microsoft.VisualStudio.Graphics.EnableTools: The current OS Version '6.3.9600.0' is not in the supported version range '10.0.10240'. 8/7/2020 10:13:19 AM - Skipping non-applicable package Microsoft.VisualStudio.OfficeDeveloperTools.WindowsIdentityFoundation.Msu: The current OS Version '6.3.9600.0' is not in the supported version range '(,6.2)'. 8/7/2020 10:13:19 AM - System restore is not supported on this system 8/7/2020 10:13:19 AM - Failed to create system restore point: 0x80131524 8/7/2020 10:13:44 AM - Certificate is invalid: EPiServer.VsIntegration.Package.vsix 8/7/2020 10:13:44 AM - Cache failed.

Unable to install extensions in Visual studio 2019 and it fails with error Invalid TimeStamp or Digital Signature as none

Please try the following steps to troubleshoot your issue:

1) go to the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community \Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies and check if you have this dll

  • Microsoft.VisualStudio.DeployWizard.dll

enter C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE and check if you have this dll

  • Microsoft.VisualStudio.WizardFramework.dll

Then, please rename these two dlls to other names or just delete them.

After that, restart your computer to test again.

Also, enter C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft and check if you has a folder called VSI.

If so, please rename this folder to another name or just delete it.

2) disable any VS third party extensions under Extensions-->Manage Extensions

3) turn off any third party software, anti-virus and firewall

4) reset VS settings

5) repair VS in the VS Installer or if there is new release vs version, please update VS.

Also, check if you have any OS update, if so, please update it.

6) delete any C:\Users\xxx(current user)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_xxxx folders and then restart VS to test again.

7) At last, if all the steps do not work, reinstalling VS might be a choice. Although it will spend lots of time, I think you could have a try.
