How to compile examples on Windows 10?

Developer VST 3 SDK

I am following this guide (I can’t post links):
/vst3_doc/vstinterfaces/cmakeUse.html

I am on step 2.1. When I run this command:
cmake.exe -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A "Win64" "..\VST3_SDK"

I get the following error:

-- SMTG_PLUGIN_TARGET_PATH is set to : C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/VST3
-- Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.18362.0 to target Windows 10.0.19041.
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:24 (project):

This is the right command (changed Win64 to x64) :
cmake.exe -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 "..\VST3_SDK"
