Error MSB6006 since last Intel Parallel Studio update

[Hamza_C_]

Hi,

This morning, I installed the last Intel Professionel Edition for C++ 2015 update.
After that, I started getting an error every time I tried to compile my main project :

1>------ Build started: Project: libCommonRT, Configuration: Release x64 ------
1>Build started 05/05/2015 10:42:55.
1>InitializeBuildStatus:

It compiles fine using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler.

It appears that even a simple "Hello World!" project reproduces the error if compiled for x64 target. I attached this project that does not compile using Intel C++ Compiler for a x64 target, with the same error :

1>------ Build started: Project: Project2, Configuration: Release x64 ------

1>

It does compile for a Win32 target. I tried restarting my computer after last updates but it did not change anything.
Have anyone met this same problem after last update?

Thanks,
Hamza

Possibly related TBB msbuild integration problem since 2015 update 3:

I'm getting what may be a related problem. Only happened since updating to Parallel studio 2015 update 3. Only affects projects using TBB.

vs2010 projects using TBB won't load giving the error below. Uninstalling all Intel tools made the error go away. Reinstalling 2015 update 3 made the error come back.

 : error  : An unexpected token "$(TBBPath)" was found at character position 68 in condition "'$(UseIntelTBB)' == 'true' AND Exists('$(_TBBCombinedPath)\\vc10') '$(TBBPath)' == ''".  C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\Platforms\Win32\PlatformToolsets\v100\ImportAfter\Intel.Libs.TBB.v100.props

I've pasted the referenced msbuild file below. I don't understand msbuild well enough to diagnose the problem. Has something changed in the update 3 TBB MSBuild integration? I don't have a pre-update copy to compare against.

[Mike_C1]

Think I've found the problem. There is an AND or an OR missing before TBBPATH in the following line in that props file

AND Exists('$(_TBBCombinedPath)\\vc10') '$(TBBPath)' == ''">$(_TBBCombinedPath)

Should it be an AND or OR?

Is this an installation bug? It happened before and after a complete reinstall of 2015 update 3.

[Hamza_C_]

Yes, I guess it would explain the problem. I got back to update 2 and here is my version of the file :

    <TBBPath Condition="'$(UseIntelTBB)' == 'true' AND '$(TBBPath)' == ''">$(_TBBCombinedPath)\vc10;</TBBPath>

  </PropertyGroup>

</Project>

So I assume yours lacks an AND before '$TBBPath)' == ''

Hi Hamza & Mike,

I'm entering this issue to our problem-tracking database.  Thank you for your problem report.

BTW, Update 4 was posted yesterday.  I didn't get a chance to test it yet.  I may want to try if this problem still persists in Update 4.

Thanks.

[Feilong_H_Intel]

Engineering team replied me just now that this issue has been fixed in Update 4.

Thanks.

[Hamza_C_]

Indeed, I just made the last update and it works fine.

Thanks!
