Extension crash in Visual Studio 2022

[mmoderau]

While the editor context menu is present, trying to add a guideline displays a Microsoft Visual Studio popup message:

The 'EditorGuidelinesPackage' package did not load correctly.
The message also instructs to check ActivityLog.xml.

First two entries related to guidelines in the log are:

This is almost certainly a duplicate of #87
There is a workaround: #87 (comment)
