Cannot build Veldrid example

[NinthDesertDude]

I did a git clone of this repository today, then rebuilt the solution (which succeeded). I can run the XNA example without an error, but the Veldrid example fails to start, giving this error:

SharpDX.SharpDXException: 'HRESULT: [0x887A002D], Module: [Unknown], ApiCode: [Unknown/Unknown], Message: The application requested an operation that depends on an SDK component that is missing or mismatched.

With this stack trace:

Built on Windows 8.0, 64-bit with Visual Studio 2019. Let me know if I need to check the dependencies for specific possible inconsistencies or provide any other information.

I know this issue is old, but thought I'd weigh in.

Is the DirectX 11 SDK installed? I don't think Windows 8 supplies that by default. Also try using GraphicsBackend.OpenGL in the third argument of the CreateWindowAndGraphicsDevice and see if that makes a difference in launching.
