Hi @sunnysnowhi . The 'offline' (platform-specific) VSIX files available on the release page will include all dependencies. The 'online' VSIX or the one you get when installing via the Marketplace) will download dependencies when first activated. I don't believe the --user-data-dir is directly related to this behavior.

A VSIX file is actually a ZIP file. I've confirmed that the cpptools-linux.vsix for 1.5.1 does contain the dependencies. If that VSIX was extracted, those files should be present. Perhaps you had previously installed the online version of the VSIX, and were looking at those contents?
