A couple of libraries missing when launching the executable, but not when running it from inside MSV

saikonobiwa — Sun, 28 Jan 2024 11:02:06 GMT

Greetings,

On one PC my .exe file gives two error messages shown in the screenshot below. The same package works fine from inside MSV (CTRL+F5). I have reinstalled the compiler, no change. On another PC I do not have this problem. My configuration is listed below.

I would tentatively say that if the problem was in the PATH environment variable, then running the software directly of from inside MSV should not make any difference, but I may be wrong. I list below also my Directory List.

Any hint on what can be wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Visual Studio modifies the environment for your OneAPI compiled programs to run. From a plain command window, these modifications are not in effect. There is a batch file in the OneAPI base directory that you can run to set up the environment:

"<path-to-OneAPI-base-directory>\setvars.bat" intel64 vs2022

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately, it does not seem to work. Below is a screenshot of the command line (just in case I got it wrong). No effect at all...

Did you try to run your "alibtepericline.exe" from that OneAPI command window that you just opened? The screenshot shows that you ran the batch file. That action would have modified the environment for commands issued subsequently within that command window, not elsewhere.

What happens if, after you see the response "oneAPI environment initialized", you enter the command "alibtepericline" followed by any command line arguments needed?

Same. see the screenshot. When I click on "OK" I get the second error message.

Same result from inside de OneAPI directory

My environment variables, if you need them

I have just added C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\2024.0\bin\ to my PATH environment variable and now it seems to work. I do not understand why it suddenly stopped working, it was apparently after upgrading from 2023 to 2024 version. May the upgrade has deleted the necessary line from the PATH variable?

What is even more strange, is that on a different PC, with exactly the same configuration and same upgrade, I did not meet this problem.

In the two screenshots of the command window that you posted, you attempted to run your application "alibtepericline.exe" without running the oneAPI setvars.bat batch file.

Setting the PATH to include the compiler bin directory is not a complete solution. That will still leave the LIB, INCLUDE and other environmental variables undefined the way OneAPI needs.

Those DLLs with the DD ending are debug versions that are only available in the VS environment. Make a release build and that uses the standard redistributables.

That the debug DLLs are only available in MSV sounds logic. But I am using the debut version since a while and it always worked by simply double-clicking the executable. While did it suddenly stop working? That what I do not get. Anyway, adding the path in my environment variable I have restored the usual behavior.

But I did already run the batch file! And it did not solve my problem.

I still do not understand why it stopped working after the upgrade to 2024, and why it works fine on another PC on which I did exactly the same upgrade.

Probably because 2024 has an entirely different folder structure and you had path/environment settings that worked with the old setup but not the new one.
