Can you please provide the precise version of Visual Studio and the extension please?

Here is how I fixed this issue:

1. Open an admin terminal
2. Change directory to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE
3. Create an empty file called ".env" in that folder
4. Change the permissions on that file to all all access to all users (or your specific user if preferred)

This .env file is used to persist your Azure subscription ID and tenant ID. It is not clear what other things it do, so it is possible this may introduce a security issue; perhaps someone from Microsoft could comment.

@payetools proposed solution did not work for me. Deployment still fails with a new error message "Failed to setup project: EISDIR: illegal operation on a directory, read"
