1. I'm attempting the React/Next.js quickstart 2. When I run "pnpm exec baml-cli init" terminal says: ✓ Detecting editor environment ⠄ ⠋ Getting BAML VSCode extension2025-09-01T15:20:31.222 [BAML INFO] Downloading BAML extension to: C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\baml-extension.vsixnishing VSCode setup ✓ Getting BAML VSCode extension ] Downloaded BAML extension to C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\baml-extension.vsix ✓ Finishing VSCode setup ML INFO] Could not automatically install the extension. Please install it manually When I attempt to add the extension manually, I get the following error: Extract: End of central directory record signature not found. Either not a zip file, or file is truncated. SOLUTION: In the process of typing this up I solved my own problem, but I thought I'd add it here since there's no mention of this error in the docs or in github. This happened to me in Windows 11 using powershell. The fix was to run powershell in Administrator mode, then run the "pnpm exec baml-cli init" command. It installed the extension automatically with no issues. Hope this helps others! Cheers.

Awesome, thanks for sharing and letting us know!
