Prior to February 28, 2025, the demo projects were easily set up. Now it no longer works.

I followed the steps exactly as stated and later on tried another project but it creates a blank template instead of filling in what is needed. This is what the error says.

enter image description here

It also points to this line in the .sln file as problematic when I run it.

    Hi Hassaan Faruq,

    Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

    We’re aware of the issue with the Azure DevOps Demo Generator, and our team is actively working on a fix. We understand this may be causing some inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience.

    Right now, the Demo Generator may not function as expected, leading to errors or incomplete project setups. Until the issue is resolved, we recommend pausing any attempts to create demo projects. If needed, you can manually set up an Azure DevOps project as a temporary workaround.

    We’ll provide an update as soon as we have more information. Thank you for your understanding
