Blazor Extensions won't update

[Miles Gibson]

Your latest 19.4.0.50 extension won't update. VS shows it as being available to update.  When I click update, it downloads and tells me that it will update the extension on close (of VS).  However, when I close VS, I get the message that all applicable updates have been installed.

So the only way to upgrade this extension is to remove it.  

Then I get this:

Restart VS, search for it and then re-add it again.  Close VS again.  Same error as above.  Then this:

You guys have the potential to be the best in the Blazor market, but such shoddy testing.  OMG.

Cheers,

Miles
