Getting this error message when I try to install the HyperWorksPyAPI in vscode.
Error: Expected double-quoted property name in JSON at position 5527 (line 182 column 1)
Initially attempted to install v2025.1.0, then tried to reinstall v0.0.4 and got the same message.
I looked through the .json files in the extension folder and didn't find any that match the error description.
Couldn't find any useful info in Outputs either - this was the only output I found under extension hosts that had anything to do with it.
Extension host output:
