Visual Studio quirk:
Your own libraries should be on front of the Library Directories: So, $(SolutionDir)extern;$(SolutionDir)extern\sdl2\lib; $(VC_LibraryPath_x64);$(WindowsSDK_LibraryPath_x64)

Do this with all your directories, libraries. Put them in front of the rest.

If you "ignore all default libraries" in the link input. You must then change the main function in:

int mainCRTStartup(void)   --> console subsystem
int WINAPI WinMainCRTStartup(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE prevInstance, LPWSTR cmd, int nCmdShow)  --> windows subsystem

If you want to copy your compiled .exe file, create a custom post-build event and fill in the following commandline: copy /y "$(OutDir)Ground.exe" "$(ProjectDir)..\..\GroundOutput\Ground.exe"

Ofcourse, you can also set the outdir in de General properties of the project.
