      This error will occur when there is a LIB environment variable present that is pointing to an outdated location for kernel32.lib or if there is no LIB variable pointing to a newer kernel32.lib file. For Fluent Version V202: Create a LIB System variable. The value would be: LIB=C:Program FilesANSYS Incv202fluentntbinclangkitlibwinv6.3umx64 For Fluent Version 201 and older: I have attached kernel32.zip file. Download the file and extract it to anywhere on your system, for example, c:temp. Create a LIB SYSTEM variable and the value will be the location of the kernel32.lib file.
