XE 2015 update 4 (15.0.4.221): some tutorials are gone

[Johannes_Rieke]

Dear Intel team,

I got the message that XE 2015 update 4 is available and installed it over the existing update 3. After installing update 4 ...\Intel\Composer XE 2015\Samples\en_US\mkl contains two zips (tutorials_c.zip, tutorials_f.zip, see attachment) which are empty. At version 15.0.1.148 there was only one zip (tutorials.zip), which contains sample code in C and Fortran. I'm a little bit confused by the two empty zips. Should it look like this? In the MKL directory the other examples are still present.

By the way, when will the compiler fix list be updated to 15 update 4 changes (if there are any)? There seems to be some installer and IDE integration fixes... Is there more?

Best regards, Johannes

I've broken my ifort 15 installation by attempting to install that update 4.  Here is the tail end of the log from attempting to restart the installation:

Maybe caused by traces of previous parallel studio installation. Was able to run remove from old parallel studio download then restore update 3 compilers by parallel studio.

There won't be a compiler fix list for Update 4 because the compiler is unchanged from Update 3. The only change in Update 4 was to add preliminary support for VS2015.
