deno compile error

When I try and run deno compile, I get the following error

$ deno compile day2.js                 
Check file:///C:/Users/cambe/JSprojects/AdventOfCode2023/day2.js
Compile file:///C:/Users/cambe/JSprojects/AdventOfCode2023/day2.js to day2.exe

I have restarted my PC and updated deno, however that had not fixed the issue.

Have you tried running the command in a prompt opened as Administrator?

Yes, it gives me the same result

I had the same issue, it turns out this is this is the error that happens when there is no deno.json file in the project. Adding an empty one made it so compile worked for me.
