Hi Greg

I found the issue (The conversion task was looking for mspdbcore.dll in the
Visual Studio 2015 distribution, and I strongly suspect that you don't have this
version of VS installed). I'll make it so that it will try and use the most
recent version available, either 2019 or 2017 (2015 is not supported by the
extension anyway)

I should be ably to push out a new VSIX later today (Australia Time) and be
ready for you Saturday morning (If I got my time calculations correct). This
version 1.2 will also include some other enhancements, which will be detailed
in the release notes

Thanks for the diagnostics, very helpful

Alex
