Integration with Visual Studio (again...)

[Massimo]

Greetings,

I've got a new PC with Windows 10. The IT staff has installed Intel Fortran Compiler 16.0 before I could get my hands on, so that Visual Studio (Community 2015) was installed later and the compiler is not integrated. I have tried following the instructions at http://software.intel.com/en-us/node/159008?wapkw=fortran

cd %VS140COMNTOOLS%
cd ..\..\Intel Fortran\VFPackages
integrate.bat "%VS140COMNTOOLS%" /u
integrate.bat "%VS140COMNTOOLS%"

but I get immediately an error message saying "The system cannot find the path specified". Any idea of how I can get the compiler integrated in VS? Below are detailed information about my VS installation.

Thanks in advance.

I expect the error relates to a missing "..\..\Intel Fortran\VFPackages” folder.  I believe that may be missing in your case due to the installation order. Since VS2015 did not exists when the Intel 16.0 compiler was installed that means %VS140COMNTOOLS% would not have been set; thus, the Intel installer would have no reason to create the Intel Fortran\VFPackages folder under the VS2015 path found in that environment variable.

I believe Steve’s the troubleshooting guide is used in situations where the prescribed installation order is followed (i.e. VS first and Intel compiler second) and thus the VFPackages folder would exist.

Unfortunately, in your case, I have to recommend you uninstall the Intel Parallel Studio XE 2016 product and reinstall it; making certain during the installation to select the integration with VS2015. That seems necessary because the Uninstall/Change option will not offer enabling VS2015 integration for an existing IPSXE 2016 installation where VS2015 was installed after IPSXE 2016. I have that very scenario on my system now and the option to integrate with VS2015 is greyed out. I will have to follow-up with our installation team about why this is. (My hunch is it relates to not keeping around the intermediate installation files when the package is first expanded.)

Sorry for the added steps/headache.

There is a choice during ifort installation whether to remove the expanded files in the Download folder.  If they are still there, the setup.exe in that folder may be used to remove and re-install.  Otherwise, if the full offline download package is available, remove and re-install still doesn't take more than a few minutes.

Indeed, uninstalling and reinstalling was the right path, and quick enough indeed. Thanks for your suggestions.

Glad to hear that. Thank you.
