oneAPI Base Toolkit Windows not installing Unified Directory Layout oneapi-vars.bat

scivision — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 19:34:23 GMT

I have several Windows computers (all on Windows 24H2) and all of them except one has the Unified Directory Layout. I have Visual Studio 2022 installed with Desktop Development for C++ workload installed. I have the same minimal packages installed on all computers to use the Intel oneAPI C++ compiler with MKL. I typically use the Unified Directory Layout oneapi-vars.bat, but that's missing from one computer only.

For the computers that work, starting the oneAPI command prompt outputs like:

:: initializing oneAPI environment...
   Initializing Visual Studio command-line environment...
   Visual Studio version 17.14.8 environment configured.
   "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\"
   Visual Studio command-line environment initialized for: 'x64'
:: compiler -- processing etc\compiler\vars.bat
:: debugger -- processing etc\debugger\vars.bat
:: dpl -- processing etc\dpl\vars.bat
:: mkl -- processing etc\mkl\vars.bat
:: mpi -- processing etc\mpi\vars.bat
:: pti -- processing etc\pti\vars.bat
:: tbb -- processing etc\tbb\vars.bat
:: oneAPI environment initialized ::

On the computer that doesn't work for oneAPI, the oneAPI command prompt says like:

:: initializing oneAPI environment...
   Initializing Visual Studio command-line environment...
   Visual Studio version 17.14.8 environment configured.
   "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\"
   Visual Studio command-line environment initialized for: 'x64'
:: oneAPI environment initialized ::

On the non-working computer, the directory %PROGRAMFILES(X86)\Intel\oneAPI\2025.2 (just the 2025.2 part) is missing. The files %PROGRAMFILES(X86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\2025.2\bin\icx.exe etc. do exist.

I have tried uninstalling, repairing, etc. I do not use the VS IDE integration. The logs\ directory for oneAPI shows "Success" and very similar contents between working and non-working computer.
