Internal error: assertion failed at: "shared/edgcpfe/host_envir.c", line 6136

I've just downloaded "Intel Parallel Studio XE 2011".

And I opened a empty project in visual studio 2008 and insert a main.cpp as follows

void main()

{

};

Then I switch the project into intel compiler by the button in the toolbar. Then compile it

And I get the following error

Did I do something wrong?

I am using VS2010 and Intel compiler XE. It worked for me.

I think this problem has been reported several times on the forums, although the search tool doesn't report anything. Anyway, it seems to be associated with an older version of the compiler; running the current one under VS2008 gives only the obvious warning about the wrong return type.

But the compiler is the newest version, downloaded from intel website 1 week ago.

I've tried to reinstall theIntel Parallel Studio XE 2011, but it didn't help.

What should I do?

The assertion is happening when the compiler tries to check if you locale is valid, i.e. this is the
assertion that is being tripped:

/* Create a locale object to be used for multibyte character conversions. */
system_default_locale = _create_locale(LC_ALL,
get_system_default_locale_name());
check_assertion(system_default_locale != NULL);

Are you sure you have the locale set to a valid locale? It looks like get_system_default_locale_name() calls
the microsoft system functionGetLocaleInfo with LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULTdescribed here:

This is returning 0, i.e. failing. What is your LANG environment variable set to?
