## Troubleshooting
### An open ended version range
**Error Message:** `VSSDK: error VsixPub0029 : An error occurred while communicating with the marketplace: VSIXValidatorWarning08 - (CsharpMacros) An open ended version range was detected in an InstallationTarget element in the .vsixmanifest file.`
**Solution:** Make sure that `PackageManifest/Installation/InstallationTarget@Version` is a range with both ends defined explicitly.
Example of correct manifest:
```xml
```
### Missing permissions in API Key
**Error Message:** ` Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (The specified API key is invalid, has expired, or does not have permission to access the specified package.).`
**Solution:**
1) Make sure that you set `Acquire` and `Manage` permission in the section `Marketplace` of your Personal Access Token configuration.
2) Sometimes you need also set `Organization` to the `All accessible organization`.
