You're installing the VS 2019 VSIX, you'll need to choose the VS 2022 VSIX. Where did you find this link? We may need to update our documentation.

Found the link here :https://platform.uno/docs/articles/debugging-wasm.html

After a quick Google search for "Uno Platform Solution Templates", I don't see another version. Does this mean using uno-check is an acceptable substitute for the Visual Studio template, in the context of this article?

This is the base for the installation for VS 2022: https://platform.uno/docs/articles/get-started-vs-2022.html?tabs=windows. We'll probably change the docs to point to the getting started instead.
