Simple VS 2015 project wont build

[WSinc]

I was able to integrate intel parallel studio 2019 with VS 2015.

And was able to compile that "Hello World" file.

However, when I try to build it, I get this cryptic message "cannot find link".error 10007

It said something about a configuration error.

See the enclosed screen shot. What are they talking about ?

Why does this have to be such a godawful complicated mess ?

You probably did not select the optional (from MS p.o.v., not Intel p.o.v.) Visual C++ component when you installed Visual Studio. See https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-visual-fortran-compiler-for-windows/topic/780688 , in particular #4.
