VS 2022 Enterprise/Pro Build failure UE5.6 : Exited with error code -1 . The build will fail. Any advice?

UE 5.6 project creation fails on Default.rc2 / rc.exe — exit code -1

You can try forcing your SDK version in your buildconfiguration xml file Your project path\Saved\UnrealBuildTool\BuildConfiguration.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <Configuration xmlns="https://www.unrealengine.com/BuildConfiguration"> <WindowsPlatform> <WindowsSdkVersion>10.0.22621.0</WindowsSdkVersion> </WindowsPlatform> </Configuration> 5.6 compiles ok on vs 2022 (v17.14.5)

So far this is the most up to date set of solutions.
