MSBuildWorkspace.OpenProjectAsync() does not load anything

[gamadori-osm]

Version Used: VS 17.9.6 Compiler version 4.9.0-3.24121.1 (a98c90d5) .NET 8 C#12

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new project with the template VisualStudio.Extensibility Extension without VSSDK Compatibility
2. In the Command1.cs file inside the ExecuteCommandAsync method try to open a project/solution, here's a sample

   public override async Task ExecuteCommandAsync(IClientContext context, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
   {
   try
   {
       // I've tried several versions, the behaviour does not change
       MSBuildLocator.RegisterDefaults();
       using var workspace = MSBuildWorkspace.Create();
       // Does not open the project neither returns some error
       var project = await workspace.OpenProjectAsync("{path to some project}");
   }
   catch (Exception ex)
   {
       Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
   }
   }

Expected Behavior: open the project or throw some error. I don't know if what I am trying to do is possible or if it is the right way to do it but I would have expected at least an error of some kind.

Actual Behavior: the process does not go on, it seems to go on an endless wait
