The error cannot open the file 'kernel32.lib'

Question

I installed VS2013 and VS2015 on Windows 7.

I have an existing C ++ Dll project that was building fine, but now it suddenly doesn’t use it with VS2015 and gives me an error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'kernel32.lib'

From this post: fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'kernel32.lib' I searched for file kernel32.lib and is located here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Lib\winv6.3\um\x86

When I go to my projects Properties → Linker → Input and select Macros, I see that this path really is:

My Platform Toolset is installed in Visual Studio 2013 - Windows XP (v120_xp) , to which it has always been installed.

Why did my project suddenly stop building? What could have gone wrong?

Answer 5

I got this error fatal error lnk1104: I can not open the file 'kernel32.lib'. This error occurs due to the lack of a path in the VC ++ directories. To solve this problem,

• open visual studio 2008
• go to the section "Tools-options-Projects and solutions" - VC ++ directories - *
• then in the right corner select Library files
• here you need to add the path to kernel132.lib

In my case, this is C: \ Program Files \ Microsoft SDK \ Windows \ v6.0A \ Lib

Thank.
