Integration with Visual Studio

[W__George]

Hello

Our software that that we have been selling for years uses Intel Fortran to compile simulations. The problem I am having is that when customers come in for support, we have to sometimes trouble shoot problems with their Intel/Visual studio installation. We have a utility that helps us determine the customers setup and we would like to add to ability to see which version of Visual Studio is currently integrated with Intel.

So for example, a user might have Intel 12.1 installed and they may have Visual studio 2008 and 2010 installed. We would like our utility to be able to determine which visual studio is currently integrated with Intel.

Does anyone know where this information is stored ?  Registry?

Thanks

I do not know the official way of doing this, but your surmise about the registry seems to be correct. However, on a 64-bit OS you may need to look at the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node branch for the information.

Interesting question since the answer can be all versions of VS that are installed on a client computer or none of them or anything in between: Intel Fortran 12.1 may only only support VS 2005 and 2008 (I don't know, I'm just guessing) but the client's environment may have 6 versions of VS installed from 2005 all the way to 2015 and their Intel 12.1 may integrate with none of these VS versions depending on how they were installed!  Or the client may have Intel compiler 16 and have integrations with 4 VS versions, 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2015, but not VS 2005 and 2008.  Or the client may have Intel compiler 14 with two VS integrations and compiler 15 with 1 VS integration, etc.

Hopefully you will obtain solution(s) for your need, good luck!

I think mecej4 is on the right track and I will ask our IDE integration developers what they recommend regarding this. I will let you know what I learn.
