Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure while building EnvSettingsModule.csproj and OnPremFolder.csproj with Visual Studio 2022 MSBuild. Investigate the MSB4060/MSB4061 Copy task errors and the GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeName Win32 error; done means these projects build without those errors.
