Here’s how I solved it:

  1. Open Visual Studio Installer and search for “MSVC x64 14.38” in [Modify] → [Individual Components].
  2. Select Build Tools and install it.

In Compiling issue. UE5.3 - #2 by DanM, I added the following code, which caused a new error, so I modified it and then reverted it back to the original, and the execution was completed successfully. * Running task in folder UE_5.4: Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat ObstacleAssaultEditor Win64 Development ‘E:\Unreal Projects\ObstacleAssault\ObstacleAssault.uproject’ -waitmutex
