I have installed Visual studio 2022, then Intel oneAPI base toolkit, oneAPI HPC, intel fortran compiler, intel ifort runtime.

When i try to run ifort, i get this error. Previously I had parallel studio 2015 (i guess) and visual studio 2013. I uninstalled everything. I probably deleted intel64 environment variable and don't know how to fix it (or if that causes a problem at all). This was because I was getting error with dll and going through forums, they mentioned on editing variable but I deleted few intel shared library related environment variable (i dont remember all of them, one of them was intel64). Now I have reinstalled everything for atleast 3 times. When i launc intel OneAPI 64 bit environment, I get the following window:

 

:: initializing oneAPI environment...
Initializing Visual Studio command-line environment...
Visual Studio version 17.10.1 environment configured.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\"
Visual Studio command-line environment initialized for: 'x64'
: advisor -- latest

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\advisor\latest\env>

 



But, in other forums, the directory is

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI>

 

Something is causing it to go to this particular directory everytime and I could not resolve it. And I dont see other libraries like:

 

:  compiler -- latest
:  debugger -- latest
:  dpl -- latest
:  mpi -- latest
:  tbb -- latest

 

probably, due to it going to \env directory (i guess).

 

I do need to run fortran compiler to create executables for my research work. I am not very familiar with compiler related stuff and I was using parallel studio earlier. Now transitioning to oneAPI is giving me a lot of trouble. I would be very grateful if someone could help me resolve this issue.

There should be an "Intel oneAPI command prompt for Intel 64 for Visual Studio 2022" entry in your start menu, if you are only getting advisor when you are using it then something is up.

This is something like what you should see:

:: initializing oneAPI environment...
Initializing Visual Studio command-line environment...
Visual Studio version 17.9.2 environment configured.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\"
Visual Studio command-line environment initialized for: 'x64'
: compiler -- latest
: dal -- latest
: debugger -- latest
: dev-utilities -- latest
: dpcpp-ct -- latest
: dpl -- latest
: inspector -- latest
: ipp -- latest
: ippcp -- latest
: itac -- latest
: mkl -- latest
: mpi -- latest
: ocloc -- latest
: tbb -- latest
:: oneAPI environment initialized ::

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI>

 

I note that you have VS 17.10.1 installed; I believe 17.9.2 is the version that was validated with oneAPI 2024.1.  It is not unknown for there to be issues when using versions later than the validated version.

If you do have the compiler correctly installed you should get something like:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI>ifort
Intel(R) Fortran Intel(R) 64 Compiler Classic for applications running on Intel(R) 64, Version 2021.12.0 Build 20240222_000000

Intel recommends that customers transition now to using the LLVM-based Intel(R) Fortran Compiler (ifx) for continued Windows* and Linux* support, new language support, new language features, and optimizations. Use '/Qdiag-disable:10448' to disable this message.

I have also started launching Visual Studio from the oneAPI command prompt ('start devenv'), as that seems more robust for setting omeAPI env variables vs whatever script VS runs to set them.

When I use start 'devenv' in cmd, it opens visual studio 2022. How does it open visual studio now, but oneAPI is not able to detect visual studio 2022. I have reinstalled everything 4 times already.

Thanks for you reply. I do not have visual studio 2017. The PC I'm using currently used to have visual studio 2013. But I have uninstalled it completely. I do have microsoft visual c++ 2015-2022 redistributable. I only have visual studio community 2022 installed. For some random reasons, oneAPI is not able to find visual studio 2022 in my computer. I am launching through Intel OneAPI comand prompt for intel 64 for Visual Studio 2022.  I have even tried running setvars.bat in oneAPI folder.

I firstly installed visual studio 2022 completely along with C++ development environment. After that I have installed oneAPI base toolkit which displayed "integrate with visual studio 2022". Then I did the same with oneAPI HPC, which also showed integrate message. Then I installed intel fortran compiler followed by fortran runtime. But even when i do so, it always shows visual studio 17.10.1 and always goes to \advisor\latest\env directory. Because in Intel\oneAPI\> dirtectory, everything mentioned (dal,debugger,dpl,tbb,mpi etc.,) are present. I really believe it has something to do with environment variables. I am doing this as a part of my research work where I have to use fortran compiler so I am not very familiar. It would be of great help if someone could get a solution.

If you haven't worked it out already, 17.10.1 is the version of Visual Studio 2022 that you have installed, so that looks OK.  My initial concern was that this is too recent to use with oneAPI 2024.1, but @Steve_Lionel shows that it appears to integrate in the topic I linked to below.  I'm still unclear why your install hasn't succeeded; you shouldn't need to install the Fortran runtime libraries, but I would be surprised if they interfere with an existing installed compiler.

If you can run VS 2022, try looking at Help->About Microsoft Visual Studio:

Mark_Lewy_0-1717511947540.png

 

Can you see the Fortran compiler in your list of installed products?  If not, I'd follow Steve's instructions and re-install.  Otherwise, you should be able to create and build Fortran projects with the Visual Studio IDE.

And I have clean installed visual studio 2022, intel oneapi base toolkit, hpc, fortran compiler for the 5th time. It still did not solve any of my issue. I did follow the steps given by @Steve_Lionel and deleting the folder did not help in anyway. By the time had uninstalled visual studio, that folder was empty anyways. But I still did delete it and it did not seem to help. I don't know why but I really do think that this is related to environment variables as I followed some random forum and deleted two or three of them. My issue still persists. Please let me know why command window goes to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\advisor\latest\env>

 if somebody can find out. I think that it is occuring due to some issue as I tried installing in my personal laptop and this issue did not happen. It straight up went to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI>

like every other user out there.

Also see this topic: Intel HPC Toolkit integration with VS 2022 version 17.10.1 - Intel Community

It looks like oneAPI 2024.1 will work with VS 17.10.1

What happens if you:

1) Open a command prompt

2) cd "\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI"

3) C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /E:ON /K ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\setvars.bat" intel64 vs2022"

(This should be doing the same as the  "Intel oneAPI command prompt for Intel 64 for Visual Studio 2022"  shortcut)

4) ifort

Thanks for you suggestion but as it is same as running cmd prompt for Intel 64,  it did not give me any different result. Same issue remains.
