What's Wrong?

When I try to install the Claude extension in Visual Studio Code, it won't let me start the chat and instead displays this window. I uninstalled the extension, closed Visual Studio, and reopened it to reinstall the extension, but I still get the error. I asked Cloude's AI, and it guided me through installing Claude Code via the console without administrative privileges, and it allowed me to install. However, after removing the extension again, restarting Visual Studio, and reinstalling, I still get this error: Error: Claude Code process exited with code 3221225785
