Error creating new app in VS Code: malformed manifest

[cryptic]

Hey All:

I'm trying to create a new app in VS Code. I've got the latest v2.0.0 SDK. I get the following error:

[west]: FATAL ERROR: Malformed manifest file: /home/ebolton/workspace/echo/west.yml
[west]: Schema file: /home/ebolton/ncs/toolchains/v2.0.0/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/west/manifest-schema.yml

Installed an older version of the VS Code extension nRF Connect for VS Code.

Right now the latest is 2022.7.242. I had to back it up to 2022.6.142

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.4 and v2.0.0 of the SDK. Everything else is latest revs.
