Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015 Update 1 Composer Edition - VS 2012 Integration failed

[Smiljan_T_]

Hello,
- I have installed VS 2012 Professional

And after that I did Install w_fcompxe_2015.1.148.exe (Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015 Composer Edition)

I have checked and confirmed the integration while installing, This appears in VS 2012 (Help-> About), there is no Intel Fortran Compiler, nor in Options->Tools nor in Create New Projects.

When I check in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0, there is:

• Blend
• Common7
• DIA SDK
• FSharp
• ImportProjects
• Intel Fortran
• JavaScript
• VC#
• VC
• VB
• ....

The Intel Composer XE 2015 is installed (C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel).
Does any know what could be the problem? Thanks in advance if somebody knows what could be the reason, while the integration failed. I did try also:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/troubleshooting-fortran-integration-issues-with-visual-studio

Visual Studio 2012

Close Visual Studio and type the following commands:

cd %VS110COMNTOOLS%
cd ..\..\Intel Fortran\VFPackages
integrate.bat "%VS110COMNTOOLS%" /u
integrate.bat "%VS110COMNTOOLS%"

It doesn't work.

Do you get any error messages when you try the commands in the article? We now have Update 3 available - I suggest you uninstall Update 1 and install Update 3.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the fast reply. I do not get any error messages when I try the commands in the article, what I get is "completed".
What I also tried is:

• installed the update 3 and nothing changed.
• deinstalled Visual Studio with devenv /force /uninstall and Installed again
• i did also try to install w_fcompxe_novsshell_2013.4.190.exe, to see if it works, but without success. Then removed it and tried again to install 2015.

START -> Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015 -> Visual Studio integrations -> Use VS2012 opens the startup get_started.html but Fortran Components are not available and integrated.

My colleagues have the same VS 2012 SP 3 and on their PC the integration works.

Kind regards,
STU

Curious. Ok, try this.  Uninstall Fortran. Delete the "Intel Fortran" folder under Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0". Reinstall Fortran.

[Smiljan_T_]

I did uninstall Fortran, deleted the "Intel Fortran" folder under "Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0" and reinstalled Fortran. I get the same as before.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

When you followed the repair commands, did you use "Start as Administrator" as indicated? I don't understand why the registrations succeeded but the integration doesn't show at all.

[Smiljan_T_]

Hi Steve,

Yes I started it as "Start as Administrator", but without success. I also was curious and installed VS 2013 Ultimate (trial version), to check if it will work. With VS 2013 the Integration works, there is only a problem with VS 2012.

Kind regards,
STU

I'm sorry, I have no idea why this would happen. I am curious why you did devenv /force /uninstall, though, rather than removing VS2012 through Control Panel. Would you please uninstall Fortran and uninstall VS2012 through Control Panel > Programs and Features? Delete the Visual Studio 11.0 folder and reboot. Then reinstall VS2012 and Fortran.

[Smiljan_T_]

Hi Steve,
I tried it also via Control Panel before /uninstall /force, but that did not work. Maybe it is a VS Bug or something is corrupt in Windows OS. I found a workaround and will use VS2013 instead.
Thank you very much for your efforts.

P.S. I wrote devenv /uninstall /force, but what I did mean was vs_professional /uninstall /force (http://blogs.msmvps.com/vstsblog/2013/10/15/how-to-do-a-clean-uninstall-of-visual-studio-2012/)

​Kind regards,
