Unable to Configure Connected Services in a VB.Net Solution

[case-sensitive]

The following works in a C# solution but not VB.Net. Any idea what I need to change for this to work?

Crack open VS2022 and create a new VB ASP.Net Web App (.Net Framework)
Framework: 4.8
Web App:
Template: MVC
Auth: Microsoft identity platform
Microsoft identity platform config:
Tenant: Abc
App registration: Xyz (I'm the owner)

Summary of changes:
Nuget packages, settings in web.config, Update Azure AD -- Yes to all

Click Next, and the following error is created.

Error:
JSON response indicates a failure with the CLI command No valid project description found with project type identifier "dotnet-"




I've tried several different framework versions without luck.
