Intel C++ compiler option missing in Visual Studio 19

[EgremyB]

Hello,

First, my configuration :

• Windows 10 Education, Build 19042.985
• Visual Studio Enterprise 19,  version 16.10.0

I followed the following Intel guide to install the right workload in Visual Studio 19.  I created a new C++ Console App project and followed this Intel guide to modify the project compiler. The latter is that after successfully installing the correct workload, the Intel C++ compiler option did not show up in the project settings.

I did set the Suppress Startup Banner to No to see which compiler was currently in use and indeed, it was not the Intel compiler but rather the Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.29.30037 for x86.

What have I been doing wrong?

Hi Bruno, did you encounter any error during the integration process? Also, during the installation of VS 19, did you manually select the Desktop Development with C++ workload? It is integral for proper integration of the IDE with the compiler.

Hi ArpanB,

I did not encounter any errors. I did select the Desktop Development with C++ workload manually. However, I did remove the workload and then put it back to be sure but there was no effect on my issue and no error.

As stated in my original post, I did follow the guide you have mentioned with no success.

I use Visual Studio 19 for SGX development, I believe this does not change anything to the problem but I prefer to mention it in case it would be important.

Hi Bruno,

>> I followed the following Intel guide to install the right workload in Visual Studio 19.

From the guide which you are following for installation, it seems that you are using Intel® Parallel Studio XE.

So could you please let us know which version of Intel® Parallel Studio XE you are using ?

Also kindly refer the below mentioned link for more details regarding supported versions

Hi,

I did not install any version of Intel® Parallel Studio XE. I only added the Desktop C++ workload in the Visual Studio Installer as far as I know.

PS: I was not contacted privately as @ArpanB_Intel told me.

Hi,

Could you please confirm us whether you have installed any of the oneapi toolkits on your system ? Because in order to use intel compilers you need to download oneAPI toolkits and the guide which you are following for installing workload on visual studio is applicable only if you have already installed components from intel.

So we suggest you to download the latest oneAPI Base toolkit and oneAPI HPC toolkit using below links.

For downloading oneAPI Base toolkit :

https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/oneapi/base-toolkit/download.html

For downloading oneAPI HPC toolkit :

Installation Guide :

Hope this might help you and do let us know if the issue still persists.

Regards,

Vidya.
