And… this was the issue! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

I had to delete the file I was using to force VS2022 with UE 4.27 (I even posted it as solution [here](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/visual-studio-2019-14-22-27905-must-be-installed-to-build-this-target/150754/4)), this means it’s probably time to remove 4.27 from my pc 😅

EDIT:

After being able to change the engine version I had another error saying:

> UnrealBuildTool has banned the MSVC 14.39.33519-14.39.99999 toolchains due to compiler issues. Please install a different toolchain such as 14.38.33130 by opening the generated solution and installing recommended components or from the Visual Studio installer.

I had to install a previous MSVC version (MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools v14.38-17.8) and I was finally able to compile
