VS 2015 Update 1 include errors with Intel 2016

[Jerry_H_]

We are seeing errors caused by new VS2015 Update 1 include files when we use Intel Compiler 2016 (with or without Update 1).  

include\exception
include\xutility
include\xstring
include\vector

VS 2015 (no Update 1) works fine with Intel 2016, but Intel compiler 2016 is having trouble with VS2015 Update 1's includes.  We ran into the limits include issue that you already created a workaround for, do you have a workaround for this?

Here are the errors:

Did you install the new vs2015 without first removing the old one and its folders?  Microsoft updated the include folders and moved them.

[Jerry_H_]

Are you sure about that?  I am comparing a system with VS2015 and VS2015 Update 1 (that was installed over the top of VS2015 without uninstalling) and the include directories are the same.  The include files I mention above are different and the VS2015 Update 1 versions have the changes that break the Intel builds.   This is similiar to the limits include file issue they just announced a workaround for you yesterday.

[JenniferJ]

can you send your include file list? I'm not able to duplicate the issue with following:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <exception>

Update to this issue:

The reason I couldn't reproduce is because I'm using icl 16.0. This issue happens only with icl 15.0. This bug is tracked as DPD200379497.

I'll update here when the fix is available, but please watch the email from Intel Premier Support about the 15.0 update.

We are also running into these exact issues with Intel 2016 (icl 16.0) and MSVC 2015 Update 1 (installed from scratch). Is there any development on resolving these problems ?

[Lubo_A_]

To be more precise, a simple "Hello World" app with the Intel 2016 and MSVC 2015 Update 1 fails with Severity    Code    Description    Project    File    Line    Suppression State
Error        expected an attribute name    Test    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\include\exception    248
