Maybe you don't have a Windows SDK installed? With the settings as shown above, kernel32.lib would be expected to exist in "c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.18362.0\um\x86".

If that looks ok, maybe it has to do with using LDC to do the linking. Does it work when using DMD instead? Or try compilation model "Separate compile and link".
