I went through the troubleshooting steps and I am using sd_playground2 as my interpreter via miniconda3

I had the same error - I've solved it by starting VisualStudio Code via the Miniconda console with the command code . after I've activated the "sd_playground" enviroment in the Miniconda console.

Don't know if this was the actual fix or just by coincidence...

...now I'm having trouble with "Windows requires Developer Mode to be activated, or to run Python as an administrator, in order to create symlinks." but that's another story... Update: I had to activate the developer Mode on my Computer (Settings -> Update & Security -> For Developers ), now it works

Solved by upgrading the diffuser and transformers packages to the latest, which are 0.17.1 and 4.30.2 respectively.
