MSVS Startup errors

[DavidWhite]

MSVS keeps reporting errors on opening project files. These errors seem to point to aproblem with the integration. I am using MSVS 2010 and the latest v12 compiler:

42	Warning	PkgDef encountered data collision in section 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\10.0_Config\\ToolsOptionsPages\\IVF Options' for value ''			VisualStudio	2011/09/20 06:51:43.334

I have reinstalled both MSVS and IVFwith no change in results.

Thanks,

Sorry for thisdumb question: Are you installing from an Admin account? Itappears to be a licensing issue. 'data collision' Visual Studio license v Intel license, they are crashing and burning!
My suggestion is to contact INTEL tech support about how to re-authorize the computer.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

This doesn't have anything to do with licensing or authorization. But it is something I have not seen before. (Not too surprising as we have an all-new VS2010 integration with this version.)

I am puzzled by the reference to C:\Program Files\Intel\Compiler\12.0 - we don't put anything into that path. Is this something you specified when you installed?

Let me suggest you try the following and let me know if it works or not.

Uninstall Intel Fortran
Delete the folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Intel Fortran
Delete the folder into which you installed Intel Fortran
Reinstall Intel Fortran (I would suggest leaving the install folder as default for now)

[DavidWhite]

Steve,

Before I reported the error yesterday, I had seen some different errors, but they did not come up when I generated the report I sent.

I have completely uninstalled IVF as suggested, and reinstalled. The error I now get is more like the original one, and is perhaps more meaningful for you:

241

ERROR

I should note that I am using the "Launch Parallel Studio XE 2011 with VS2010" link to which I have added the /log parameter.

Thanks,


David

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Ok - thanks. I will pass this on to the developers to see if they have some ideas. Am I correct in assuming you are using a separately purchased VS2010 and not the Shell that comes with the compiler?

[DavidWhite]

Steve,

Yes, I have a stand-alone version of MSVS 2010 and IVF 12: (w_fcompxe_ia32_2011.6.233.exe)

Even though the error message is displayed, I can still compile and build properly.

Thanks,


David

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Do you get this if you just open VS directly or only if you are opening a Fortran project?

[DavidWhite]

Certainly when opening a Fotran Project, but not all of the time. Have not been able to pinpoint whether it is specific .sln files. I normally have automatic reopening of last project.

Just turned that off:No error with blank environment.
Opened last solution file - error occurs.
Opened different solution: no error.
Opened first solution again: no error.

Have attached activity log for this session.

Regards,


David

FWIW - I've found indications that this exception is associated with a particular source file that is being automatically loaded (that also possibly end up being the active source file) when a solution is being loaded.

[DavidWhite]

Ian,

I can confirm that closing all source files in the solution, closing and reopening MSVS does not repeat the error.

Also, the error only appears to occur on the first solution that is opened after starting MSVS. Other solutions open cleanly after this.

Further testing suggests that your premise that a particular source file is causing the problem is not correct. Re-adding the same source files, in the same or different order to that in the solution when the problem occurred does not result in the error happening again. It appears that there is something in the solution file, which is deleted when some of the source files are removed, but it is not added again even though the same source files are open in the solution.

Thanks,

D

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Do you happen to have a copy of the original .sln and .vfproj files that triggered the error? If so, please zip and attach them.

[DavidWhite]

Steve,

the sln and vfproj files have not been changed. It appears that the suo or u2d files are the culprit. Copies of both sets of files are attached.

Regards,

David

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Thanks. When I try this, I don't get the errors you did but do get errors because the other projects in the solution are missing from my computer. I will pass these on to the developers and perhaps they can spot the problem.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

We believe we have this problem fixed for Update 8.
