Make sure you have the .NET Framework 6.0 SDK installed; looks like this version is being targeted.
Use Visual Studio 2022, since 6.0 can't be targeted in lower versions of VS.
Set your VisualStudio2022 format in the Engine\Saved\UnrealBuildTool\BuildConfiguration.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Configuration xmlns="https://www.unrealengine.com/BuildConfiguration">
    <ProjectFileGenerator>
        <Format>VisualStudio2022</Format>
    </ProjectFileGenerator>
</Configuration>

Make sure the right Windows SDK version is installed; for UE5, this seems to be SDK 10.0.18362 at the time of this writing.
Also install NuGet and NuGet targets and build tasks.
Project file generator may complain about missing Engine\Restricted\NotForLicensees\Build. Just manually create this directory.

ResonanceAudio Hacks/Workarounds:

Delete the generated /Engine/Plugins/Runtime/ResonanceAudio/Source/ResonanceAudio/Private/ResonanceAudioLibrary/resonance_audio/out, since main files in there are still picked up even when git-ignored for some reason. Otherwise you get a main redefinition error from the cmake compiler test programs.
