How to solve why my VSIX doesn't install on my dev machine?

I built a VSIX for my open source project, and when I try and open the VSIX on my machine, nothing happens.

As per the advice of someone on here, I tried installing it on my Azure VM and it worked, so my question is should I uninstall VS 2015 on my dev machine, or is there any other way to get the VSIX to work.

If I debug the extension in the expirementai instance, it works.

Would uninstalling / reinstalling Visual Studio 2015 fix the issue? That is a lot of trouble but if it works I will try that.

Is there any way to log what happens when I double click the VSIX

Should I try building a windows installer for the extension? I have never done that but if it works I am open to any suggestions.

Thanks,
