Dear all,
I have been trying to achieve the same as Simon in https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/294900, with following setup:
This is on a Windows Server 2012 using Visual Studio 2013 and Visual Fortran 15.0. More precisely
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2013
Version 12.0.31101.00 Update 4
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.51209
together with
Intel(R) Visual Fortran Compiler XE 15.0 Update 1 for Windows*
Intel(R) Debugger Extension 7.7-8.0 for Intel(R) Many Integrated Core Architecture
Like Simon, we use ifortvars.bat on an older machine, and I can then run cl, nmake and link to build a cross-language DLL.
I found ifortvars.bat and according to its documentation, should run it with arguments "intel64 vs2013", and while this does set some paths (like Simon, I compared the output of set before and afterwards), it fails to set the path to the actual ifort.exe binary, and to the SDK tools such as cl, nmake and link.
The documentation (locally at C:/Program Files (x86)/Intel/Composer XE 2015/Documentation/en_US/beginusing_wf.htm) says to use the Command prompt with Intel Compilers, (supposedly found at Start > All Programs > Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015 > Compiler and Performance Libraries), but this is not installed on our machine - said start menu path only contains a link "Use VS2013", so I do not have an example to use as reference.
Also, the docs concerncing using the command-line say
The Intel® Fortran Compiler includes a shell script that you can run to set environment variables.
- On Linux* and OS X*, the file is a shell script called compilervars.sh or compilervars.csh.
- On Windows*, the file is a batch file called compilervars.bat.
but this seems to be specific to the Intel C/C++ compiler; there is no such script on this machine.
I guess I could hack this, using the SDK vcvarsall.bat script and hardcode %INTEL_COMPILER15%bin\intel64\ifort.exe (or similar), but I would very much like to keep our build scripts clean and less dependent on particular installation paths.
I am attaching our ifortvars.bat (as txt) and the (slightly redacted) before and after outputs of SET.
Thank you for your consideration!

Yes, you may well have a broken installation. Please uninstall Fortran and reinstall.

Please show the contents of a command prompt session where you invoke ifortvars.bat and do a "set path" afterward. It looks to me from your output that ifortvars.bat did not execute.

Steve,
thank you for your comment. I am quite sure it did run, because the before and after environments differ. Nevertheless, here the output of set path (newlines added by me or better readibility):
C:\Users\dwassel\Documents>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2015\bin\ifortvars.bat" intel64 vs2013
C:\Users\dwassel\Documents>set path
Path=
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2015\redist\intel64\mkl;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2015\redist\intel64\compiler;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\intel64\mpirt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\intel64\compiler;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\ia32\mpirt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\ia32\compiler;
C:\Windows\system32;
C:\Windows;
C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Windows Performance Toolkit\;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Binn\;
C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2014a\bin;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd;
C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.0\;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\120\Tools\Binn\;
C:\Program Files\TortoiseGit\bin
PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC
The problem, as I understand it, is that the bin directory where ifort.exe resides is not added (should be bin/intel64)

Also as a side-note, I just updated to the current version, being
This package contains:
Intel(R) Visual Fortran Compiler XE 15.0 Update 2 for Windows*
Intel(R) Debugger Extension 7.7-8.0 for Intel(R) Many Integrated Core Architecture
but it appears this did not change anything w.r.t. my issue.

You didn't show me the command prompt output. The PATH variable values you show are those established at the system level, not those set by ifortvars.bat. I want to see the output displayed by ifortvars.bat.

Yes, my bad. I should have explicitly pointed out that ifortvars.bat produces no output. It does modify PATH, however. Consider before and after:
C:\Users\dwassel\Documents>echo %PATH%
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\intel64\mpirt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\intel64\compiler;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\ia32\mpirt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\ia32\compiler;
C:\Windows\system32;
C:\Windows;
<cruft>
C:\Users\dwassel\Documents>"c:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2015\bin\ifortvars.bat" intel64 vs2013
C:\Users\dwassel\Documents>echo %PATH%
c:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2015\redist\intel64\mkl;
c:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2015\redist\intel64\compiler;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\intel64\mpirt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\intel64\compiler;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\ia32\mpirt;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Shared Libraries\redist\ia32\compiler;
C:\Windows\system32;
C:\Windows;
<cruft>
So ifortvars.bat added the two front-most "c:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2015\redist\intel64\" paths, where I expected it to add the path to the compiler binaries as well.

That's odd - I would expect at least some output.
What do you get if you use one of the "Command Prompt" shortcuts we put in the Start menu under Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015? Please attach a .txt version of compilervars_arch.bat from the same folder where you found ifortvars.bat.

Same here - the "old" script (as in ifort 12.1 or so) obediently quotes the version and such when run.

I was actually trying to steal the correct invocation magic from said shortcut, but it is not installed. Neither is there any compilervars*.bat on this machine. Do I have a broken installation? (just ran the update a couple of days ago, I would hope that should have fixed any brokenness)

You know, I hoped you wouldn't suggest that (takes quite long), but it actually did the trick. The ifortvars.bat now does what it says on the box.
Thanks a lot for your input, Steve!

Great! I know it's a pain, but installation is complex and sometimes not everything goes where it should.
