Hi navba-MSFT, The original message in 29th March mail sent to you is like this: I follow your instruction:

Close all the VS Code windows.
Open the bicep repository in VS Code
Switch from power shell to CMD and type the command, but still got the error.

After the long break and I went back to work today, I thied to represent the error and paste the freashest error via GitHub instead of mail, and the most amazing thing happened: I found it has been OK now! ! when I type the command ‘bicep --version’ in VS Code (just like I did in the picture), now the bicep version show up correctly!

So you could close the case. Thank you very much!
