Man you made my day. Now I can recompile the old sdl library without worry (yeah I know Windows 10 doesn't allow direct video memory access, but other stuff still works)

As others have said, you have two issues: the correct SDK and a not to new IDE. I support legacy apps dating from 2005. The dev tools will only run under Xp, so I have a VM dating that far back.
I live in the embedded world. About 2010, Microsoft development went insane. They decided to abandon WinCE alienating a lot of people. A few years later, therapy helped them realize that the IoT (embedded) was going to be a big player, so they tried to get righteous. The issue is that the tool set got really flakey for supporting things. My point - choose the IDE wisely. On my Xp machine, I use VS2008 Pro. This is the last tool I can use for WinCE/WEC7 development. But that's my problem. If you're just doing a desktop app, you might get away with something newer.
I do recommend a VM.

I have a legacy Windows XP machine. I have Visual Studio 2005 too.

You should be good then. Just install the last SDK Microsoft released for Xp.

i find that "Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK" in .iso format works very good with anything from windows xp to windows 10, though "Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK" is also a popular option.
i would go with the former.

Anyone know how to remove the stupid "structure lines" from VS2019?
The horizontal dotted lines in this Screenshot
I've turned off "View Whitespace" and "Show Structure Guide Lines" in Tools => Options => Text Editor.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

That toggled on some little right arrows above the dotted line.

I love the structure lines.
If I could marry the structure lines I would.
I will now sing a song celebrating my love for structure lines.

Obviously a Python* dev. 
seriously though, are you? 
*Because of Python's dependency upon whitespace

no python dev here.
I love structure lines. they are very helpful to me. you can collapse code with them too.

I don't see any 'structure lines' in the image, only whitespace displayed as '.'
What exactly are you trying to turn off?

The dotted lines are not whitespace. They're called "Structure Lines" and they don't appear in all code files.

I thought "structure lines" were those vertical lines that help you line up opening and closing braces.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

The ... at the start of the line are whitespace. ctrl-R, ctrl-W will toggle it.
The ... at the end of the lines show because you have outlining on and have collapse the definitions.
