WindowsSdkDir not found

[Manish_K_1]

I was using Intel Visual Fortran Compiler 11.1 with Visual Studio 2008 pro and Abaqus 6.10 to write and use subroutines in Abaqus. I had linked it properly and it was working fine before. However, today when I tried to use it after 1 month, the Intel Visual Fortran compiler command window comes with an additional message that "WindowsSdkDir not found", and my subroutines are not working anymore.

I don't know if the problem is because of this error message or something else. I searched the internet and also this forum and also reinstalled Visual Studio 2008 again, but no luck. I have attached the screenshot of command window.

The message the I get from Abaqus log file shows me that subroutine is being compiled, but there is issue with linking (at least that what I understood from message):

Abaqus JOB Bearing
Abaqus 6.10-EF2
Begin Compiling Abaqus/Standard User Subroutines

End Compiling Abaqus/Standard User Subroutines
3/13/2013 6:03:26 PM
Begin Linking Abaqus/Standard User Subroutines
3/13/2013 6:03:26 PM
ValueError: IOError: : Unknown error

Could somebody please help me with this?

Ok, then use the path without (x86).

Thanks Steve but unfortunately I get that error yet. I want to install visual studio again.

You can delete the line from the directories list that includes $(WindowsSDKDir) and you won't get the message. I think the message is harmless, though, if your program does build successfully.
