在我安装MySQL Shell For VSCode之前我单独安装了MySQL Shell 8.0.40实例，但是安装插件时它还是安装了插件自带的Shell

[wanqiu2004]

我的系统是Windows11 23H2专业版
在安装插件时我使用了MySQL官方的 1.6安装器安装了MySQL Shell 8.0.40，及8.0.40 MySQL Server
并成功添加到系统环境变量里，可以通过命令行输入mysqlsh启动Shell实例，
在我阅读https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-shell-gui/en/mysql-shell-for-vscode-setup.html
这份文档的Requirements部分时，我看到
"[MySQL Shell]8.0.28 and later (optional). If you intend to maintain MySQL Shell as a standalone product, instead of using the embedded instance, install MySQL Shell before installing the MySQL Shell for VS Code extension."
我的条件符合，我直接在VSCode内的插件商店搜索并安装了插件，非常成功，使用没有问题。
但是我打开资源管理器发现我使用插件时运行的是一个插件自带的Shell，
它的版本是9.1.0，路径是C:\Users\user\.vscode\extensions\oracle.mysql-shell-for-vs-code-1.18.0-win32-x64\shell
这不是我先前独立安装的8.0.40，这让我非常不解，为什么插件又给我安装了一个Shell

My system is Windows 11 23H2 Professional Edition. When installing the plug-in, I used the official MySQL 1.6 installer to install MySQL Shell 8.0.40 and 8.0.40 MySQL Server.

It was successfully added to the system environment variables. You can start the Shell instance by entering mysqlsh on the command line. When I read the Requirements section of https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-shell-gui/en/mysql-shell-for-vscode-setup.html, I saw "[MySQL Shell] 8.0.28 and later (optional). If you intend to maintain MySQL Shell as a standalone product, instead of using the embedded instance, install MySQL Shell before installing the MySQL Shell for VS Code extension."

My conditions meet the requirements. I searched and installed the plug-in directly in the plug-in store in VSCode. It was very successful and there was no problem using it. But when I opened the resource manager, I found that when I used the plug-in, I was running a shell that came with the plug-in.

Its version is 9.1.0, and the path is C:\Users\user.vscode\extensions\oracle.mysql-shell-for-vs-code-1.18.0-win32-x64\shell

This is not the 8.0.40 that I installed independently before. This puzzled me. Why did the plug-in install another shell for me?
