C++ Transition Guide to UE5 Preview I

Dear Community,

Here is a place you can discuss transitioning to UE5 Preview I from UE5 EA or UE4!

If you install UE5 Preview I, and try to rebuild the VS project files and you see something like this:

Discovering modules, targets and source code for project...
WARNING: Visual Studio 2019 is installed, but is missing the C++ toolchain. Please verify that the "MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools (Latest)" component is selected in the Visual Studio 2019 installation options.

ERROR: UnrealBuildTool requires at minimum the MSVC 14.29.30133 toolchain. Please install a later toolchain from the Visual Studio installer.

Then you will want to click this link:

If you have 2019 already you will want to update:

PS: Other UE5 Preview I commentary is welcome here, as related to C++ in some fashion, or any technical issues with UE5 Preview I editor so that Epic Devs have a place to centralize their attention on any major technical issues.
