New user with Build error mt.exe and environment variables error

[cliffct]

I am a new user. I have IVF (version 11) and IVC++ on a computer running Vista Home Premium.

I am running Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I installed MVS first before installing IVF.

I am getting the following error with a simple build of the test console application (the hello world application).

I get :

1>Build started: project TEST1, Configuration: Debug Win32
1>mt.exe not found
1>Project : warning PRJoo18 : The following environment variables were not found:
1>$(WindowsSdkDir)
1>
1>Build log written to ......
1>Test 1 - 1 error (s), 0 warning (s)

I looked through the KB an saw that a mk.exe error could be caused by installing ivf before mvs, but I installed MVS first.

Thank you for any assistance.

Have you installed any Microsoft SDKs separately? If so, which one(s)? In particular, have you installed the Windows 7 Beta SDK?

Please do this. In Visual Studio, select Help > About. Click the Copy Info button. Paste the results into a reply here.

The following in the information was copied from the MVS Help-About page. I don't recall doing a separate install for a Microsoft SDK. Thanks for your help. Cliff

I suggest trying a "repair" of VS2008 from Add/Remove Programs and see if that helps. You may need to reinstall the compiler after doing this.

[cliffct]

I did try the repair install of MVS 2008 but I am still having the problem. I reinstallrd the MVS 2008 and the downloaded the latest service patch and did the update. I discovered that MS SDK did not seem to be installed so I downloaded the SDK for Visual Studio 2008 and installed it. Ihis created a new directory in Program Files. I reinstalled the Intel C++ and Fortran (versions 11) using the repair function. The compile runs without error, and I did a clean-up of the build. The build give the same ettots as before. I have looked for a file called MT.exe, but cant find it on my computer.

Do you have any new ideas on what I should try? Thanks.

Cliff

Which SDK did you download? mt.exe should be in C:Program FilesMicrosoft SDKsWindowsv6.0Abin

Please do this. In Add-Remove Programs, do a "Change" on VS2008. Make sure the option Visual C++ > Visual C++ Tools > Win32 Tools is selected.

Steve:
Thank you for your reply. It lead me to a solution.

I did not have any files in Microsoft SDK/Windows/v6.0A/bin even though MS VS had createn the directory during the install. A repair if VS using the repair CD did not fix the problem. I found an on-line version of the SDK for Vista but this created the files in the v6.0/bin directory and not v6.0A. Instead of a repair I went to the add/remove section of the installer. I first needed to remove the Visual C++ Tools > Win32 Tools. Then I could add the Visual C++ Tools > Win 32 Tools by restarting the installer from the CD. The files for v6.0A/bin immediately appeared and the Intel Visual Fortran could build the exe file without any problems.

This problem with the SDK could have been related to a problem with MS Document Explorer. The program was not installing properly with MS VS, and trying to open the MS help filesin VS. There was no problem with opening the Intel help files. I was able to fix this problem by first locating the DExplore.exe installer file on the VS CD. I uninstalled the program, restarted the computer, and reinstalled the program using the DExplore.exe file. After a long wait (5+ minutes) after the initial loading of Document Explorer, I can now view the MS help files.

This was not an Intel software problem. It was a problem with the way the MS Visual Studio 2008 installed on my Vista system. I would still be waiting on a solution without your help. Many thanks.

Cliff Anderson.
