Building unreal engine from source fails to build in solution

[GTBeAzLeY1 (GTBeAzLeY)]

I’ve been watching a heap of tutorials and have been following the ue docs to build the engine from github source code and have been following it to a T. I then get this error when I build in the solution.
MSB3073 - The command …..\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat -Target=UnrealEditor Win64 Development -Target=ShaderCompileWorker Win64 Development -Quiet -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild exited with code 6.
I came across this solution:

Can't build UE5 from source: can't find TargetMetadata.dat

I downloaded the code from Github, switched to branch 5.0, and .\Setup.bat .\GenerateProjectFile.bat -2022 Then build in Visual Studio 2022. I got these error: Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error Unhandled exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Users\rainc\github\UnrealEngine\Engine\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UnrealHeaderTool\Development\TargetMetadata.dat'. UE5 C:\Users\rainc\github\UnrealEngine\Engine\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\EXE…

but this says to roll back to an older version. Would anyone have a clue how to use the newer versions of unreal engine and get it to build or at least why i might be constantly getting this wrong.
I don’t know whether this is relevant or not but when a build a project from the eg store version of ue5 I get an error whenever I change something in he build.cs file.
