Build Error MSB3073 when compiling UE 5.4.2 from source

I’m encountering an issue while trying to build Unreal Engine 5.4.2 from source code. The build process fails with the following error:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v170\Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets(44,5): error MSB3073: The command “…..\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat -Target=“UnrealEditor Win64 Development” -Target=“ShaderCompileWorker Win64 Development -Quiet” -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild -architecture=x64” exited with code 6.
Done building project “UE5.vcxproj” – FAILED.

I’m using VS community v17.12.0 and have tried a lot of solutions in the different forums about this specific problem, nothing seemed to have worked. I even tried installing every Windows 11 SDK but nada.

If you need to know more information about what I have installed exactly, please feel free to ask and I’ll provide, for now I just want to see if this is a common issue with this source code.
