UE5: Trying to build project in VS nukes "UnrealHeaderTool" and then complains about it missing, corrupting the engine install

Well, you should never try to rebuild the engine installed from Launcher.

You should always rebuild the contents in “Games” group, never the whole solution.

Probably the default project is badly configured, in UE4 the default “rebuild” actions only affects the project files.

At the moment I “solved it” by removing the permission to delete files in the binaries folder from all users.
