Unable to install NCS 2.1.0

Question

Hello, 
 I want to install NCS 2.1.0, but I get the following problem. 
 
 I used toolchain manager 1.2.0 to install NCS 2.1.0. Open VS Code is now available.

I opened VS Code and tried to install the sample code, but it says "Invalid NCS installation".

Looking at the folder, there is only .west.

I downloaded the sdk-nrf-2.1.0.zip from GitHub and copied all the files into the folder, but nothing changed. 
 Release nRF Connect SDK v2.1.0 · nrfconnect/sdk-nrf · GitHub 
 
 How can I resolve this issue?

Hi, 
 Could you try to open VS Code from a terminal? Open a terminal using the "Open command prompt" and type code . This will open VS Code. There is a suspected bug when launching VS Code from Toolchain Manager. 
 
 If not, in case you are using a VPN, this could delay the download of the files. If so, you could try to disable the VPN and then install again. 
 Or else, try this. After you have manually downloaded all the files into the folder, you could try to click the "Update SDK" and "Update Toolchain" from inside the Toolchain Manager and see if this works. Or you could open a terminal from the ncs folder and do west update. 
 Please do let me know which option works.
