Sensor simulator build fails with LNK1112 error

Question

I'm trying to build and run the sensor simulator by following the steps from here: http://www.movesense.com/docs/esw/getting_started/#build-commands-sensor-simulator

I have:

1. Pulled the repo
2. Created simuBuild folder
3. Run cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -DMOVESENSE_CORE_LIBRARY=../MovesenseCoreLib/ ../samples/blinky_app
4. Then opened the Project.sln file
5. Selected Movesense as Startup project

Now when I try to run it with Debug -> Start new instance , I get the following error: movesense-coreD.lib(ResourceClient.obj) : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64' . How do I resolve this?

I also tried to set the Linker -> Command line: Additional Options to %(AdditionalOptions) /machine:x86 but that also fails with similar but slightly different error: Movesense.dir\\Debug\\App.obj : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'x86

Had a same issue. Downgrading to Visual Studio 2017 helped. Obviously it is not working on 2019 version.
