Error with pc-ble-driver in Visual Studio

Question

I am trying to build a project using the includes/libraries in pc-ble-driver in Visual Studio 19. I have been having linker problems, and I found a support ticket with a similar issue. I followed the instructions in the answer exactly: 
 
 New project -> Visual C++ -> Windows Console Application -> OK 
 In ConesoleApplication.cpp, I replaced the content with this one -> https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/pc-ble-driver/blob/master/examples/heart_rate_collector/main.c 
 In the Solution Explorer, right click on ConsoleApplication -> Properties -> VC++ Directories -> “Include Directories” -> Edit -> New line, find the pc-ble-driver include folder , (e.g. C:\Nordic
rf-ble-driver-4.1.1-win_x86_32 \include\sd_api_v6) -> OK. 
 In the Solution Explorer, right click on ConsoleApplication -> Properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor Definitions -> Edit-> By default there are “WIN32, _DEBUG and _CONSOLE. Add: PC_BLE_DRIVER_STATIC _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS NRF_SD_BLE_API=6 
 In the Solution Explorer, right click on ConsoleApplication -> Properties -> C/C++ -> Precompiled Headers -> Precompiled Header -> Set to “Not using precompiled Headers”. 
 In the Solution Explorer, right click on Header Files -> Add -> Existing Item.. -> Mark all the .h files in folder “nrf-ble-driver-4.1.1-win_x86_32\include\sd_api_v6”, there should be 18 files -> OK. 
 In the Solution Explorer, right click on “Source Files”, Add -> Existing Item.. -> Find the lib folder, and add nrf-ble-driver-sd_api_v6-mt-static-4_1_1.lib -> OK 
 Build -> Build Solution 
 
 However, I am still getting errors. The errors are as follows: 
 Error LNK1120 17 unresolved externals Warning LNK4272 library machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'x86' Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_ble_cfg_set referenced in function _ble_cfg_set Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_ble_enable referenced in function _ble_stack_init Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_ble_gap_connect referenced in function _on_adv_report Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_ble_gap_conn_param_update referenced in function _on_conn_params_update_request Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_ble_gap_scan_start referenced in function _on_adv_report Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_ble_gattc_characteristics_discover referenced in function _char_discovery_start Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_ble_gattc_descriptors_discover referenced in function _descr_discovery_start Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_ble_gattc_primary_services_discover referenced in function _service_discovery_start Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_ble_gattc_write referenced in function _hrm_cccd_set Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_ble_gatts_exchange_mtu_reply referenced in function _on_exchange_mtu_request Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_rpc_adapter_create referenced in function _adapter_init Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_rpc_close referenced in function _main Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_rpc_data_link_layer_create_bt_three_wire referenced in function _adapter_init Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_rpc_log_handler_severity_filter_set referenced in function _main Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_rpc_open referenced in function _main Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_rpc_physical_layer_create_uart referenced in function _adapter_init Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _sd_rpc_transport_layer_create referenced in function _adapter_init 
 It seems that the functions aren't being seen by the project, despite adding the .lib to the solution as described in the above answer.
