Here are some similar issues that might help you. Please check if they can solve your problem.

Unable to install desktopvirtualization extension in current AZ CLI. status code 3221225477 #30536

Possible solution (Extracted from existing issue, might be incorrect; please verify carefully)

In looking at some of the previous reported issues and a bit of Binging around on the internet I found a post that suggested I update the python path in PowerShell which I tried and it worked!

$ENV:PYTHONPATH = "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SDKs\\Azure\\CLI2"

If you're using VSCode, do this in the pwsh terminal. When I tried this using the regular Windows Terminal the version of the desktopvirtualization extension would appear as unknown. Removing the extension and then adding it back within the VSCode pwsh terminal did the trick and when I checked in the Windows Terminal for the version of the extension it also worked and showed the correct version.

Hopefully this helps out others.

Hello,

Yes! setting that variable in PS worked, I can install the devops extension. Good to know to get this working for me :)

Thanks much,

The scripts are installed in <base>/Scripts, but PYTHONPATH was set to <scripts>/src, although this directory doesn't even exist. I guess the deployment used to be in src, but this is no longer the case. Setting PYTHONPATH is done to avoid conflicts with other installations of Python on the same machine. When it is set incorrectly, Python tend to crash on startup (typically when loading incompatible ctypes). Fixes Azure#28004, Azure#29630, Azure#30517, Azure#30536, Azure#30594, Azure#30700, Azure#30792.

Setting PYTHONPATH is done to avoid conflicts with other installations of Python on the same machine. When it is set incorrectly Python tends to crash on startup (typically when loading incompatible ctypes). There were old scripts in <base>/Scripts, which set PYTHONPATH so that Python prefers the bundled libs over the system ones. The problem with these scripts is that they set the wrong path. But these scripts no longer seem to be used. They were replaced by new ones in wbin. The problem with those is that PYTHONPATH was not set at all in them. Update the scripts to set PYTHONPATH correctly, both for bash and cmd. Fixes Azure#28004, Azure#29630, Azure#30517, Azure#30536, Azure#30594, Azure#30700, Azure#30792.
