Visual studio 2019 (14.22.27905) must be installed to build this target

In my case removing the buildconfiguration.xml from "\AppData\Roaming\Unreal Engine\UnrealBuildTool\" wasn’t working, I had to edit it and make it like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Configuration xmlns="https://www.unrealengine.com/BuildConfiguration">
    <VCProjectFileGenerator>
        <Version>VisualStudio2022</Version>
    </VCProjectFileGenerator>
    <WindowsPlatform>
        <Compiler>VisualStudio2022</Compiler>
    </WindowsPlatform>
</Configuration>
