title: Rehosting vsix packages on Nexus NPM local repo
body: <p>I need to re-host some VSCode vsix package extentions on a local Nexus npm repo.  I have the Private Extension Manager extension installed in my vscode on Win10.  I also have a functioning nexus npm repo to which I manually uploaded a vsix file packaged in a npm tgz.  After uploading the npm tgz file to the Nexus npm repo, I'm able to see the uploaded private extension in my vscode installation, however, when I hover over the listed Private Extension, it says &quot;Manifest is missing publisher field.&quot; despite my package.json file having a valid publisher line entry as follows.<br />
  &quot;publisher&quot;: &quot;admin&quot;,
  When I right-click the Private Extension and &quot;copy extension information&quot; and paste, I do see the following line.
  Publisher: Unknown
  What would cause my publisher line in package.json file to be ignored?
  Also, the install button does nothing when i attempt to install the Private extension.  I have the following script lines in the package.json.
  <code>&quot;scripts&quot;: {</code>
  <code>&quot;prepublishOnly&quot;: &quot;vsce package -o admin-package.vsix&quot;,</code><br />
  <code>&quot;install&quot;: &quot;code --install-extension admin-package.vsix&quot;</code>
  <code>},</code></p>
  <p>Does anyone have a package.json file from a working solution where a vsix package is hosted in a tgz on a Nexus npm repo that can be shared for reference?</p>
  <p>I have tried moving the &quot;publisher&quot;: &quot;admin&quot;, line around in the package.json but location of the line does not change my results.  The npm pack always completes without complaining about my package.json file and the extension is always visible in vscode after uploading to the Nexus repo, but won't install and always shows &quot;Manifest  is missing publisher field.&quot;</p>
