Use PackageReference
Migrate from package.config to PackageReference. package.config has been deprecated for 5 year and there is a full-fledged replacement that is better in every way that works on .NET Framework. If you use PackageReference style, the NPOI will be installed without the error.

See Migrate from packages.config to PackageReference

Looks VS template for .NET framework 4.7.2 in VS2022 is still using packages.json instead of PackageReference.

Thanks for the quick, accurate response! Issue resolved.

I can't use PackageReference instead of packages.config, VS2022 show an error: "Project is not eligible for migration. Either the project is not packages.config based or doesn't support PackageReference yet."

is there a way to update the package without replacing packages managment mechanism?

This issue is eventually resolved by the release of NPOI 2.6.2.
