Extension for Visual Studio 2019 Failed to Install

I've installed the trial edition, but would like to use Advanced Installer from within Visual Studio. So I downloaded the extension for VS2019.
The first issue I had was that it downloaded as a .zip file. After much searching I found a post suggesting to use a different browser.
Downloaded in via Chrome and it was indeed a .vsix file.
Installing it failed with the message 'This extension is not installable on any currently installed products.' I have Visual Studio Enterprise 2019 Version 16.1.1.
Below is the content of the log file. How can I get this installed?

Re: Extension for Visual Studio 2019 Failed to Install

Hello,

Indeed, this seems to be a problem in our VSIX package for VS 2019. We have fixed this and the fix will be available in our next version of Advanced Installer.

Until then, you can install the fixed extension from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kzdefftepczfi ... .vsix?dl=0

Please let me know if everything is working as expected after installing this VSIX package.

Best regards,
Dan
