Ifort cannot be accessed from regular command line Windows 10

[Feng__Jesse]

Following the instructions from some other threads I could find, here is my system path exported with set path > path.txt. I organized the entries a bit for ease of reading. From what I can see, there should be no problem for my command line to recognize ifort, but my cmd is saying ifort is not a recognized internal or external command. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Here is one problem: the PATH that you reported above does not contain the directory that contains the compiler driver, ifort.exe:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\windows\bin\intel64

The PATH as reported above shows a bit of clutter -- several versions of Matlab, SQL Server, etc., are included, which you could possibly remove from %PATH% and retry. Depending on the version of Windows and the build tools that you use, having %PATH% longer than a certain limit may cause problems.

A few things to try:

• Try adding the path that I showed above to %PATH%
• Look at the startup batch file c:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat
• See if the following command, issued in a OneAPI command window, produces meaningful output:

set | findstr -i fort

Sorry, I have been busy, but adding the path you suggested worked. Thanks!

Do you have oneAPI specific cmd shortcuts in Start Menu? Intel oneAPI command prompt for Intel 64 for Visual Studio 2022 located in 

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Intel oneAPI 2023 

[Feng__Jesse]

I do have the oneAPI CMDs. For x32 and x64. My machine uses x64.

[Devorah_H_Intel]

Those shortcuts run  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat" intel64 vs2022"  for you.

[Feng__Jesse]

Yes that is correct. I  have been running Abaqus via the oneAPI cmds because of this. But the response above solved the issue. My normal system cmd can now recognize ifort. Thanks!
