You only seem to have the 32 bit toolchain installed (which can cross
compile to x64).  As far as I'm aware the VS installer doesn't allow
selection of only x86, you just get both.  You're not running on 32 bit
Windows are you?

The Developers Guide states:

> From the Start Menu (or Start Screen), navigate to the “Visual Studio 2019”
folder and choose the Command Prompt appropriate for the build you wish to
make, e.g. “x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019” for a 64-bit
version or “x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019” for a 32-bit
version.

Which isn't too helpful if you want to build an x64 version and don't have
the x64 toolchain as you seem to have achieved.  In that case you would
have to choose the x86_64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019 option.
