Grammatically, it is unacceptable, as is your shouted reply!

How many more threads do you want to post for your single question?
I have shown you in the other one the only way however can be placed to make the sentence grammatically acceptable. I'm not going to do it a second time.
If you don't like the answer, or think it is wrong, I suggest you provide some context to work on.

No, it isn't.

The word "however" can be used at the beginning, in the middle, and also at the end of a sentence. However, you have not used it properly in your particular sentence.
You can word your sentence the way Kitosdad suggested. In that case, the word "however" means "no matter how".
You can also use the word "however" in a clause or sentence which contrasts something that was stated previously in a different clause/sentence. For example:
- Salim studied hard. However, he did not succeed.
- Salim studied hard; however, he did not succeed.
- Salim studied hard. He did not succeed, however.
