Installing deps fails on Win11

[scallyw4g]

Got the following output when running the EngineBuild.bat with a VS developer shell.

I fixed a file-path Bug that I found but It seems Irrelevant to your Error,Make sure you remove the premake folder and Try Running it as Admin to ensure the script has the required permissions to Copy the File. If it doesn't work then Just Manually Paste the premake folder from Build to Source/NexusEditor/Sandbox/Binaries and you should be good to go for now.

Alright, I copied the directory manually after removing it and trying again.

Now, after installing the Vulkan SDK, the EngineBuild.bat script thinks I haven't installed the SDK. If I tell it to not install again, the script then barfs when trying to run premake.

I can spot at least one obvious problem in that output. Can you try to build from a fresh clone on your machine to see if you get the same behavior?

I fixed the entire Issue. Remove existing premake directories,Pull the latest changes and Try it again.
