The path resolves to the wrong installation and version when version is set to "current" and you're using 64 bit version of VS22

events.js:1740
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Error: spawn **C:\WINDOWS\microsoft.net\Framework64\v15.0\msbuild.exe ENOENT**
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:240:19)

This is caused by

	frameworkDirectories = getFrameworkDirectories(msbuildDir);

this prioritizes x86 instances of msbuild (and doesn't even check if msbuildir contains msbuild.exe)

In my particular case, the directory does exist C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\15.0\FileTracker (not sure where that got installed vs2019 doesnt exist on my computer)

I propose that BOTH the x86 and x64 paths are checked and which ever has a version that is greater is selected. Finally, if there are two version equal to one another give us an option to select x86 or x64.
