Using the Visual Studio extension in a protected environment

[AnReZa]

I would like to use the VS extension. Unfortunately, the execution of code in the AppData\Roaming\NPM directory is disabled by policy. I get the message that the execution of TSP-SERVER.CMD is blocked. How can I move this file to another, authorized directory?

The extensions should look up for the locally installed typespec compiler. Do you open a folder that has it installed?

if it’s not in the standard directory(node_modules/@typespec/compiler) you can tell the extension where it is with the config here https://typespec.io/docs/introduction/editor/vs#configure

Well, I installed everything following using this guide and then created a test project in my project folder under C:\dev\tsp-test\main.tsp.

Do you have a node_modules folder with @typespec/compiler in C:/dev/tsp-test?

[AnReZa]

Yes.

can you share the full error? have you tried setting the config above and restarting visual studio?
can you also confirm that runnnign npx tsp compile . is working in that directory
