The extension (in VSCode-1.22.2 ) cannot work under Windows if folder %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions has not execution rights.
This problem can be solved using --extensionHomePath option.

The real problem is that there is no log record explaining this installation problem when it happens!

Below are the relevant logs, after having waited for at least 5':
