title: Unresolved external symbol error while trying to run PARDISO on windows 10
body: <p>I downloaded the PARDISO libraries from <a href="https://www.pardiso-project.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.pardiso-project.org</a> and obtained the license too. As per the user manual, I have installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 as well as Intel Parallel XE 2020 for the cl and Intel compilers. I have placed the .dll file, the .lib file and the .exp file along with the license (.lic file) in c:\users\hp. Microsoft Visual Studio has been installed and the source and repository folders are placed in c:\users\hp\Source. </p>
  
  <p>I tried to run the sample code on Visual Studio : <a href="https://pardiso-project.org/manual/pardiso_unsym.f" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pardiso-project.org/manual/pardiso_unsym.f</a> (equivalent C++ code is <a href="https://pardiso-project.org/manual/pardiso_unsym.cpp" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pardiso-project.org/manual/pardiso_unsym.cpp</a>)</p>
  
  <p>I got the following errors:</p>
  
  <p>For the C++ code:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>unresolved external symbol pardisoinit referenced in function main Trial4 C:\Users\hp\source\repos\Trial4\Trial4\tryout1.obj   1   </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>For the Fortran code:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _PARDISOINIT referenced in function _MAIN__      Tryout2.obj     </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I know that all this has something to do with the libraries being placed in the correct place but I am unable to figure it out correctly. Could someone tell me how I can solve this problem? I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2019.</p>
