Out of the blue I'm getting the following error

"1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V120\Platforms\x64\PlatformToolsets\Intel C++ Compiler XE 15.0\Toolset.targets(357,5): error MSB6006: "icl.exe" exited with code 2."

I've attached full project and appreciate any help you can give.

The error I see is that you did not select the Intel MPI project to build for Debug 64x:

Go to Build -> Configuration Manager and check the box.

Umm, no, this has nothing to do with anything. Projects are not interdependent so I'm only compiling the SIMD project.
