WebView2Browser Sample (C++) Will Not Build X64 in VS2022 OOB, also does not support ARM64

[laultman]

This is just one of many problems with the whole Getting Started collection. First it will not build as-is right out of the box on a Windows Surface Pro 10 i7, Windows 11 23H2, VS2022 17.10.5.
All references to the cpprest nuget are not found. Manually fixing the include paths results in 17 errors related to the cpprest nuget package, as unresolved externals. Uninstalling the package and reinstalling did not resolve the issue. Updating the package to the latest from nuget.org did not change the outcome. Fails out of the box in X64. The project does not support ARM64.

Additionally, there is not a version build for ARM64 in the native cpprest.

This package had dependencies on cpprestsdk and winhttppal that prevent builds for dozens of reasons due to dependencies that have been changed or are now "non-standard" deprecated. Simply rolling back to earlier version of c++ does not fix issues because some of the projects have dependencies to the winrt requiring c++/17 or higher. Suppressing the error does not fix the real problem. Currently it has very limited use and almost not backward compatibility for older libraries.

This was a complete dead-end. I have it working now in HoloLens 2 in a native C++ without any Windows UI frameworks e.g. WinUI, WPF. It is running in UWP c++ native built on the Core App (C++/WinRT) VS app template.
