Problem with IVF and VS2010 on Windows Enterprise

Hi,

I have installed the IntelComposer XE 2011 Update 10 package (325) under Windows 7 Enterprise.
When I open a command window I get the following error message:
ERROR: Cannot determine the location of the VS Common Tools folder.
This happens when I use an account that does not have Administrator privileges.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Regards,

SAE

I have seen this happen when the Composer install (or build environment script) adds so much to the PATH system environment variable that some items get truncated. Please show the output of a "SET PATH" command in a command prompt window.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply.

Attached is a file containing the output from SET PATH.
It contains paths from the non-administrator and the administrator accounts.

Sincerely,
Svein-Atle

Which directory are you in when you do this? By the way, I see that you noted some of these as "IA-64". This is really "Intel 64" - IA-64 means Itanium, which you are not using. "x64" also works as a label.

Hi Steve,

The SET PATH command was run from D:\Intel\Composer XE 2011 SP1
which is the directory where the compiler is installed.
I have made short cuts on the desk top for the command prompts
andran these short cuts.
The target for the short cut is:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /F:ON /E:ON /V:ON /K ""d:\Intel\Composer XE 2011 SP1\bin\ipsxe-comp-vars.bat" ia32 vs2010"
I have added the /F:ON.

Sorry, it is Intel 64.

Sincerely,

Try it with the "Start in" property of the shortcut being a user-writable folder. Things can go a bit strange when you are executing with a folder under Program Files as your default.

Do you see the same behavior if you use the shortcut installed in the Start menu?

Hi Steve,

I get the same behaviour independent of"Start in"folder or if I start the command window from the Start menu.

What happens when you use Start > Microsoft Visual Studio 10 > Visual Studio Tools > Visual Studio Command Prompt ? Do you get the message then?

In that case it's not on the Intel Fortran side. I am out of the office today, but I will refresh my memory of how I investigated a similar issue and get back to you.
