Unable to generate VS project files for 5.1

Found the solution. For anyone else having this problem:

  • Open the Visual Studio Installer
  • Select ‘modify’ next to Visual Studio 2022
  • Select ‘Individual components’
  • Search for ‘MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools (v14.30-17.0)’ and check the box
  • Click ‘Modify’ to download the package
  • Wait for it to install
  • Close Visual Studio and Unreal (if open)
  • Delete the .vs , Binaries , Intermediate , Saved folders and YourGame.sln
  • Right click on the uproject file and generate the visual studio files

…and it should all work
