Intel C++ Compiler not installing into Visual Studio

[Chiang__Howard]

Hi,

I installed the Intel C++ Compiler (and Threading Building Blocks) via the System Studio installation but when I open a solution in Visual Studio 2019 (16.5.1) Intel C++ Compiler is not listed in the "Platform Toolset" field of the project properties dialog, nor is Intel Compilers and Tools or anything similar listed after going to Tools > Options.

Does anyone know why it's not installing correctly into Visual Studio?

Thanks,

HC

Hi Rahul,

Yes, I checked those links before and didn't see anything incomplete or of concern.

All requirements met, tried all the instructions, etc. The problem seems to be that the installer isn't implementing the compiler into VS 2019 properly or at all.

Thanks,

Howard

Hi Howard,

Could you please specify your System Studio and Intel Compiler version? We will try to reproduce your issue at our end and see whether this issue is specific to the system studio version you have used.

Hi Rahul,

I got it to successfully install.

I did the following:

1. Updated VS to 16.5.2
2. Ran C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\sw_dev_tools\install.exe with Admin privileges.
3. Selected Update to the latest version and installed the C++ compiler and dependencies.

Now I can select the Intel compiler under the project Platform Toolset and I see Intel Compilers and Libraries section in VS Options.

I did try running install.exe before but maybe running it as Administrator made a difference. This time it took a lot longer to configure VS during the install.

Thanks,

Howard
