If you used the default Visual Studio project in the proj.win32 folder, then that may be the problem.

Create a new project with CMake. Install CMake on your system, then follow the instructions here: https://github.com/cocos2d/cocos2d-x/tree/v3/cmake

For VS2019, you can use this to generate the Win32 project:

mkdir win32build
cd .\win32build
cmake .. -G"Visual Studio 16 2019" -Tv142 -A Win32

I use now cocos2d-x v 4.0 as it outperforms v 3.17. Creating a clear win 32 project with Cmake displays now other default errors in error log.

Windows 10 VS 2019

Do a test:

1. Open a command prompt
2. Change directory to the cocos2d cpp-tests folder, for instance: [installation path]\tests\cpp-empty-test
3. Type each of these lines in the command window:

   mkdir win32build
   cd .\win32build
   cmake .. -G"Visual Studio 16 2019" -Tv142 -A Win32

4. Now go into the win32build folder that was created at step 3, and open the solution file cpp-empty-test.sln in Visual Studio 2019.
5. Right click the cpp-empty-test project and set it as your start-up project.
6. Build and run.

See if that works. If it does, then the issue you're having is in your own code.
