Visual Studio Extension Question

While trying to install the Visual Studio Code extension I ran into a few issues. I'm new to this tool and to some extent visual studio as well; I was wondering if the extension is meant for the prior Visual Studio 2019 or if it works for Visual Studio 2022? The thought mainly crossed my mind as I couldn't seem to find the extension within the Visual Studio 2022 extension tab for the marketplace. As a result, I tried installing it via the command prompt VSIX Installer, if the problem is on my end specifically, I did save the log file from the failed installation. Any assistance is appreciated.

Edit: Forgot to mention my OS, I'm running on Windows 10.

Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code are two separate products. Visual Studio is an IDE (integrated development environment) for Windows, and Visual Studio Code is a lightweight cross-platform code editor. I know, the naming is confusing.

We have extensions for both Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio:

Visual Studio Code Visual Studio 2022 Visual Studio 2019

Thank you for the quick response I recognize my mistake now. I've installed the IDE and had the terms crossed I'll just need to grab the Visual Studio Code Editor as well.
