Getting Intel C++ to work with Visual Studio 2019

[Clift__Neill]

I have been using the Intel C++ compiler with Visual Studio 2017 but just installed 2019. The first errors I got required retargeting to an older SDK. But then I get this:

1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Platforms\x64\PlatformToolsets\Intel C++ Compiler 18.0\Toolset.targets(150,5): error MSB4062: The "ICMessage" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\Program Files %28x86%29\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Intel.Build.ICLTasks.v150.dll. Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files %28x86%29\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Intel.Build.ICLTasks.v150.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.
 

I tried repairing Intel Parallel studio. I haven't been through an update to visual studio with the intel compiler before.

Thanks.

That's not helpful at all. The new version is 2019 and Microsoft basically forces you to get it and unless you're subscribed to Dev essentials you're not going to be able to get the 2017 version.

Is it possible to use Visual Studio 2019, but still installing 2017 build tools to make it to work because I have tried and it does not seem to work? I just want to use Intel C compiler to compile some .c file, I dont need those visual studio integration stuff.

So if anyone is reading this and you installed visual 2019, you can download visual studio build tools 2017 here: https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017. Intel C++ command line tools will work although no visual studio integration (you need to install visual IDE 2017 if you want it but I personally only use the command line tool)
