Unreal Engine 5 editor on Windows VM on Parallels on MacBook Pro M3?

I've got a project for work that is going to require updating a project that was built in Unreal Engine 5 on Windows. The project has some C++ components created in Visual Studio 2022 on Windows.

Since Visual Studio on Mac was discontinued by Microsoft over a year ago, working on the project in Unreal Engine on my Mac is not an option.

I've tried to open the project in a Windows 11 VM in Parallels. My Mac is a MacBook Pro M3 if that makes a difference. Visual Studio 2022 in my Windows VM works fine.

When I try to open the project in Unreal Engine it is crashing on startup with the error I pasted below. Is there any way to get this working such as installing missing components that Unreal Engine expects there to be available in Windows 11?

Could I build it from source on the Windows VM on my Mac? Or am I stuck with running this on a Windows laptop if I need to have Unreal Engine 5 + Visual Studio 2022?
