How to resolve the error "Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry " while trying to login to heroku on Windows via Heroku CLI

Question

I am having trouble trying to deploy my Django app to Heroku. I am using visual studio code IDE on Windows 10. I have installed Heroku CLI but seems it's not pointing to the Heroku PATH or maybe something not set right. I am unable to login. All my search results are suggesting solutions around Node JS yet am not using Node.js.Here is the error message.

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Program Files\heroku\client\node_modules\debug\node_modules\ms\index'. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry
