coder_2.10.2_windows_amd64_installer.exe vs. WSL installation method for code-server? (VS-CODE)

Hey all! I tried using coder_2.10.2_windows_amd64_installer.exe installation and get the Error: Invalid Coder SSH authority. Agent not found! error message. On the web interface, I get a status code 500 error on the Deployment > General page. Just to start things off, I would ideally like to have a simple localhost environment that I can pair my PC and laptop together to test out VS-code environment sharing, then move on from there. Is there something I may have glazed over in the guides? Is there a video tutorial that might help me specifically? I would keep with coder_2.10.2_windows_amd64_installer.exe method, but I would like the most tried and true setup I can use. All help and feedback is super appreciated!!! Thanks!

How are you running Coder after the installation? Could you uninstall this and try again with winget install Coder.Coder Just to see if installation goes fine.

And what do you get when you run coder server?

PS C:\Windows\system32> coder server

so I could just CD to the coder dir but env var should just work no? I CD'd into the dir .\coder server and it starts and I can access my 127.0.0.1:3000 URL just like before still get the status code 500 error

and this error when I try to load the workspace in VS Code

-maV.•5mo ago

perhaps I'm setting up a workspace/template incorrectly?

Phorcys•5mo ago

did you restart your terminal before running coder server?

-maV.•5mo ago

nope

Phorcys•5mo ago

can you open the developer console on that page and screenshot the "Console" tab?

-maV.•5mo ago

yep one moment

Are there applications out there that could break the coder install?
