Hi,
To anyone interested, this has now been assessed, as you can see in the above link, fixed by Microsoft and the code was changed so that UE 5.0.2 onwards fixed the problem.
In fact, UE 5.0.3 can use the latest version of Visual Studio 2022 without a problem
Thanks

Unable to find valid 14.29.30136 toolchain for VisualStudio2022 x64
what am i missing to get this error
Hi @Lathesh_shetty I had a similar problem recently.
In my case it was because there had been a change in the source code which prevented later version of Visual Studio from working
in the root of your source code you will see the file
MicrosoftPlatformSDK.Versions.cs (6.7 KB)
In here you will see that the version number range has been expanded
you may have to change the first value to 14.31.31103 by hand with `
notepad Engine\Source\Programs\UnrealBuildTool\Platform\Windows\MicrosoftPlatformSDK.Versions.cs
on the command line root of UE5 source
I also found a problem with preview version of VS2022 and patched as in picture
Basically I removed the “!” to stop code from ignoring Latest Preview versions of VS 2022 in the file “MicrosoftPlatformSDK.cs”
My best way of solving this is the get the final Production version of VS2022 downloaded and install ALL the previous library use Individual Components section and the patches above as the
GenerateProjectFile.bat -2022 uses this patch
see my Readme at
UnrealEngine-5/README.md at Luoshuangs-GPULightmass-5.1.1-vs2022 · jimshalo10/UnrealEngine-5 (github.com)
@Jimbohalo10 thankyou this finally worked for me had to stick with blueprints for a while because of this error.
I don’t have any problem with UE 5.0 but when running UE5.1 and UE 5.2 I have this error:
Unable to find valid 14.29.30136 toolchain for VisualStudio2022 x64
For others still having this issue - I fixed it by deleting BuildConfiguration.xml within %AppData%/Roaming/Unreal Engine/UnrealBuildTool/BuildConfiguration.xml.
For some reason the build config was specifying 14.29.3016. This must have been auto-generated at some point and was the cause of the issue. Maybe the GenerateProjectFile.bat should output that it is using a version taken from an xml file.
