Describe the bug Convertion of a JSON theme file failed, with a "file cannot be found" error.

Screenshots (Same error with PowerShell on Windows Terminal, or Developer PowerShell for VS 2022 Preview launched in administrator, or directly system PowerShell launched in administrator)

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Extract JSON theme file with the suggested method (in my case, Bearded Theme Monokai Metallian)
2. Follow the steps on project's README

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Converter version: v0.0.2
• VS version: 17.0.0 Preview 3.1
• Theme used: Bearded Theme

Additional context The file :

The VS install folder :

• Change terminal (same error in bash)
• Change file location (in the desktop, directly in bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1, in Documents)

If i use a folder instead of directly JSON file :

So i created myself a folder ImportedThemes in bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1 and it say :

Thanks for the feedback!

This is due to a missing component (VsixColorCompiler) which is included as part of the "Visual Studio extension development" workload that can be selected in the VS installer.

We'll update the readme to include that information.

Note that you will likely encounter issue https://github.com/microsoft/theme-converter-for-vs/issues/28 once you've installed that missing component, please see my workaround to get past that.
