Hi @ofoacimr, thanks for the bug report. Other than the logging, what symptoms do you see of the extension not working? For example, does the solution outline view load, can you select a solution in the Contexts view and see a list of target types, does the the software components UI load?

Oops, it seems that this has nothing to do with Arm64, I wish I had been more thoughtful. 🤧

The same error is logged under Windows x64, with every project converted from Keil μVision project (.uvprojx) using CMSIS csolution extension.

However, when creating a blank csolution project for the same target (HC32F030J8TA), there's no error.

Anyway, this error does not impact the debugging process, and the extension does work in some perspective.

After the recent extension update, I no longer see this error on both Windows x64 and arm64 platform, thanks for your support.
