In order for the visualizer to work, the files need to be unblocked. This is usually available through the Explorer UI, by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties:

and checking the Unblock checkbox.
Under VS 2019, you can use the visualizer with projects that target frameworks other than .NET Framework, by placing an additional copy of the DLLs in a subfolder of the main visualizer folder:
- VisualStudioInstallPath \Common7\Packages\Debugger\Visualizers\ framework
- My Documents\ VisualStudioVersion \Visualizers\ framework
where framework is one of the following:
- for a project targting a .NET Standard compatible framework, use netstandard2.0
- for a .NET Core project, use netcoreapp
- for a .NET Framework project, use net2.0
