Cursor IDE – Marketplace Extensions

Bug Reports
1

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The AL Language extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (ms-dynamics-smb.al) was installed and working fine in Cursor for months.
When I checked for an update, Cursor’s marketplace still showed version 15, while the latest available version of the extension is 16.2.1869542.

To update it, I uninstalled the extension. After uninstalling, the extension completely disappeared from the Cursor marketplace search.
The same extension works normally in Visual Studio Code, so the problem seems to be with Cursor’s extension availability.

Right now we cannot continue Business Central development in Cursor without this extension.

Steps to Reproduce

Open Cursor IDE

Search for ms-dynamics-smb.al extension

Extension shows version 15 instead of the latest version

Uninstall the extension

Search again

Extension no longer appears in marketplace results

Expected Behavior

The latest version (16.2.1869542) of the AL Language extension should be available in Cursor’s marketplace, and the extension should remain installable after uninstalling.

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report. This happens because Cursor uses the Open VSX registry instead of the official VSCode Marketplace, and extensions there can be outdated or missing.

Solution:

  1. Update to Cursor 2.1 (you’re currently on 2.0.77). This version has better support for newer extension versions.

  2. Install the latest AL Language extension manually:

    • Download the VSIX file using a VSIX downloader tool.
    • In Cursor, press Ctrl+Shift+P → type “Extensions: Install from VSIX…”
    • Select the downloaded VSIX file.

This is a known limitation of Open VSX, since extension developers need to publish their extensions separately to that registry. Manual VSIX installation is a reliable workaround for missing or outdated extensions.

Let me know if this helps.
