In the table, the C# for Visual Studio Code says it is "powered by OmniSharp". This is true up to the most recent release version `1.25.9`. But if you install the pre-release version `2.0.x` then it does not include OmniSharp any more.
To follow the instructions in the book, if you have installed the pre-release version `2.0.x` then I recommend that you click the button Switch to Release Version to revert back to the current release version `1.25.9`.

In Step 18, I wrote, "Visual Studio Code may have to download and install C# dependencies like OmniSharp, .NET Core Debugger, and Razor Language Server". This is true up to the most recent release version `1.25.9`. But if you install the pre-release version `2.0.x` then it does not include OmniSharp any more.
