Microsoft Agent Framework Python sample not running.

[adner]

Describe the bug
The Python + Agent Framework sample that is part of the VS Code M365 Agents Toolkit extension is not working.

To Reproduce

• I follow the instructions here for how to set up the sample.
• uv venv
• .venv\Scripts\activate
• uv pip install -e . --prerelease=allow
• uv run python start_with_generic_host.py

Fails with the following error:

(agent365-agentframework-python) PS C:\temp\Agent365\agent365-agentframework-python> uv run python start_with_generic_host.py
warning: The `tool.uv.dev-dependencies` field (used in `pyproject.toml`) is deprecated and will be removed in a future release; use `dependency-groups.dev` instead
error: Could not convert between URL and path
  Caused by: path could not be normalized: C:\temp\Agent365\agent365-agentframework-python\../../../../python/dist
  Caused by: cannot normalize a relative path beyond the base directory: C:\temp\Agent365\agent365-agentframework-python\../../../../python/dist

Expected behavior
The sample code should run.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• SDK Version [e.g. 1.0]

Hi @adner , thanks for reporting this issue. I was unable to reproduce the error that you're seeing, but uv run python start_with_generic_host.py resulted in a different error for me. I have a fix that addresses this issue in #119

Could you please take a look and see if this resolves the issue for you? Please make sure to clean up the directory before trying again.

@pontemonti Tested with your updates, the agent starts now. However, not able to test it from Agentsplayground since I can't (any longer) create an Agent User, see microsoft/Agent365-devTools#88. Closing this one.
