I followed the great guide up to "Now, select "Windows7.1SDK" in your Platform Toolset."

I thought that's the end of the story and I hit the compile button. Visual Studio 2019 reports error

error MSB6006: "CL.exe" exited with code -1073741571

I then installed Visual Studio 2010. After that, Visual Studio 2019 no longer complains of the same file.

I guess the error is because I didn't execute steps in "Working with Visual C++ 2010 Projects".

Probably we should clarify

After these steps, Windows SDK 7.1 has been successfully installed on your Windows 10 system.
You can start to use SDK to build and compile your C/C++ source code.
But this is not our intention, we want the SDK to run perfectly with Visual Studio 2019. Now, select "Windows7.1SDK" in your Platform Toolset.

"You can start to use SDK to build and compile your C/C++ source code." This sentence may be wrong if we don't follow through "Working with Visual C++ 2010 Projects".
