VSCode and STM32 setup on classroom PCs

[bully]

Hello,

we thoroughly use STM32H750 DK systems on our faculty and install VSCode and STM32 plugins on all classroom computers each school year. We have noticed, that plugin is installed in home directory of each user, which is a big struggle for our situtation. 

Can we somehow create "per system" installations of CubeIDE and as alternative IDE VSCode + STM32 plugin to be installed in some common folders for all students that work on PCs?

Thanks in advance,

Robert.

@bully I fear no choice ... VSCode is what it is and STM32Cube is enriching this solution by extensions ... so STM32Cube cannot act here. My 2 cents at least.

We're trying to install both tools: CubeIDE and VSCode se two IDEs for STM32. We're having problems with VSCode plugin, because it seems to install on "per user" base, which is not good for PCs, where there are more users.

@bully yes fully understood.
My point - but I'm not expert here somebody else may have extra clue - is maybe you have to ask to Microsoft / VSCode community about how to. Your need maybe valid playing with Python ecosystem or any other .... not restricted to STM32Cube.

Such said I guess answer to your point is this one:

About Cube you may kind of face another issue about collateral it's pulling out of VSCode scope like toolchains, debuggers & co. By default end user area is considered but some settings exist to control here.

Let's promote variable and restart VSCode ....
