Unreal Engine 5

1) Tried minimal clone as the full one was failing continuously. This will create a subdirectory called 5.1.1-release

git clone https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine.git --depth=1 --single-branch 5.1.1-release

2) Setup.bat

3) From VS 2022, it required install of Net framework 3.1, done.

4) open UE4.sln and Build Unreal Engine 4 with Development Editor configuration and Win64 Platform
