fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'kernel32.lib' in assembly

I am trying to write my first assembly language, "Hello World", but I keep on getting this error that says:

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

Did I install the linker wrong or is there anything wrong with my code? here is my code 

.386
.model flat, stdcall
option casemap:none

include \masm32\include\windows.inc
include \masm32\include\kernel32.inc
include \masm32\include\masm32.inc

includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib
includelib \masm32\lib\masm32.lib

.data

    HelloWorld db "Hello World!", 0

.code
start:

    invoke StdOut, addr HelloWorld
    invoke ExitProcess, 0

end start
