Details

I'd like to propose adding VSCode to the FLARE-VM build. This has become a great open-source code editor with a lot of useful extensions and built-in capabilities. I also utilize the built-in syntax highlighting to help with code analysis, for example when viewing extracted macros.

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode

According to https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/requirements, the install size is < 500mb. It's certainly provides a much smaller footprint than installing Visual Studio.

I am for this and have suggested it in mandiant/VM-Packages#883 as well.

It looks like it's also readily available in Chocolately too: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/vscode

@jstrosch If you'd like to make a new metapackage request in VM-Packages to kick it off, that would be great!

I created one at mandiant/VM-Packages#887. I can't seem to find a shimmed executable for this package though and not sure what that impacts. I'm not very familiar with chocolatey structure though and could simply be overlooking it.

@jstrosch thanks for the tool proposal. Note that issues to propose new tools additions should be opened in VM-Packages (an not in FLARE-VM) as we need a package in VM-Pakckages that we can add to FLARE-VM. This also allows us to share packages with Commando-VM, so that in this case Commando VM users will also be able to install VSCode.

Closing this issue as it is duplicate of mandiant/VM-Packages#887
