I'm sorry, I may have missed part of your original question. Are you trying to install the Intel C/C++ compiler without installing MSVS? I don't think that will work. It's not that we need the gui, but as you saw we depend on many MS libs and header files.

Yes - exactly. I am trying to establish/prove a development set-up for future use. To that end I have VS2010 which I know will not integrate yet with the Intel Compiler (or vice-versa!).
However, I was advised that the Compiler could operate independently of MSVS from the command line. The Intel documentation seems to support that advice.
The Installation procedure requires the SDK directories, so I assumed that any neccessary headers etc were being picked up from there.
There appear to be some advantages (for what I want) to using the Intel compiler - despite targetting mainly managed code.
It would be nice to be able to prove things out before making significant investment (both time and financial), but perhaps, as you say, it won't work.
Many Thanks
