try-convert is broken on vs 2022

[Cpt-Falcon]

Here is the error when I attempt to run try-convert. I'm trying to convert something that doesn't even have newtonsoft json

Microsoft.Build.Exceptions.InvalidProjectFileException: SDK Resolver Failure: "The SDK resolver "Microsoft.DotNet.MSBuildSdkResolver" failed while attempting to resolve the SDK "Microsoft.NET.Sdk.WindowsDesktop".

STtill broken!

Figured out the problem.. looks like the target framework should be 5.0 for the msbuild path. Change msbuild path to .net 5.0 and it will work (-m C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\5.0.402)

My solution was just to use vs2019 which is not ideal but its usable for now
