I've been getting this error ever since I installed the .NET Framework SDK for 64-bit programming on my Visual C++ 2010 Express compiler. I can't compile even a simple program at all because of this single error I'm getting. My platform is x86. Here is a snap shot if it helps:
I don't know what more to say. I just downloaded this compiler yesterday and it was working fine. I wanted to upgrade from 32-bit programming to 64-bit so I could work with Assembly, so I downloaded this SDK. I searched on Google and even here on Stackoverflow. Google didn't help much, but I found a post here that seemed similar to mine but the answers didn't do much justice. Does anyone know why this error is occurring and how I can get rid of it?

To fix this issue, stop the program and unload it from the debugger before building it again. If the app is open in another program, such as a resource editor, close it. If your program is unresponsive, you may need to use Task Manager to end the process. You might also need to close and restart Visual Studio.
kernel32. lib is THE fundamental Windows API library. It is found in the Windows SDK and the default set of library locations should include it. But I have sometimes seen that separate installations of the Windows SDK messes up the environment variables Visual Studio uses to locate these.
Windows libraries, such as kernel32.lib If the file that can't be opened is one of the standard library files provided by Microsoft, such as kernel32.lib, you may have a project configuration error or an installation error. Verify the Windows SDK has been installed.
Can't open a Microsoft library file Windows libraries, such as kernel32.lib If the file that can't be opened is one of the standard library files provided by Microsoft, such as kernel32.lib, you may have a project configuration error or an installation error. Verify the Windows SDK has been installed.
This error is reported when the linker fails to open a file, either for reading or for writing. The two most common causes of the issue are: your program is already running or is loaded in the debugger, and your library paths are incorrect, or aren't wrapped in double-quotes. There are many other possible causes for this error.
Check the VC++ directories, in VS 2010 these can be found in your project properties. Check whether $(WindowsSdkDir)\lib is included in the directories list, if not, manually add it. If you're building for X64 platform, you should select X64 from the “Platform” ComboBox, and make sure that $(WindowsSdkDir)\lib\x64 is included in the directories list.
