Describe the bug When I open a solution, I get a prompt that RainbowBracesPackage did not load correctly.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open VS 2022 and choose Create a new project
2. Select 'Class Library' with C#. Next.
3. Keep defaults. Next.
4. Keep .NET 6.0. Create.

That looks like an installation issue. Is it fixed if you uninstall and reinstall the extension?
