@bartvanhoey, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
It seems the issue with the UseDotNet@2 task may stem from an underlying environment
or background settings that cannot be identified explicitly from the error output.

You have linked your problem in the related issue #10879 and I have found another one issue #7692.
The similarity between your issue and issue #10879 seems remarkably notable:
both error outputs contain the exception type DirectoryNotFoundException
I think that it might related to the long path, despite the ExtractToDirectory method has the distinct exception PathTooLongException

Could you consider relocating your agent to the root of C drive, or running a specific cmd in Powershell with elevated privileges?

Set-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem' -Name 'LongPathsEnabled' -value 1

@ivanduplenskikh Thanks!

This task in AzureDevops Build Pipeline before the UseDotNet@2 fixed the issue for me:

• task: PowerShell@2
  displayName: Execute Powershell to fix PathTooLongException
  inputs:
  targetType: inline
  script: Set-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem' -Name 'LongPathsEnabled' -value 1
