OneAPI 2023 installation fails

[publiusrgj]

Jasper,

          I wish I could help, but I can only tell you I'm in the exact same boat as you. I've got tons of development tools installed, multiple versions of Visual Studio installed, and on several different machines. All have the same problems. On my main machine, I spent several days trying to remove all traces of the previous product codes from the registry and anywhere else that looked promising.

    No luck, the OneAPI installer still somehow thinks the products are still installed.  I was searching around for another problem and happened to see your post here, and so registered to reply.

     It would be nice if there was a "zapper" tool or something that could remove all traces from the system. Only intel knows where all such traces are.

   Thanks.  The problem is the old problem of a previous Parallel Studio installation not compatible with the later VS installers. The OneAPI installer thinks the old version of the integrations is still installed in VS 2019 and tries to uninstall, which fails. Uninstalling VS 2019 completely and even going through the registry and removing all instances of the product codes (which I can find) doesn't do it. Installer still thinks it's installed. 

     I know the fix for that is to completely uninstall everything, all instances of VS and start from scratch, but I don't want to go to the trouble of doing that on my main machine here -- too much developer stuff installed, and lots of time and probably other problems triggered.  The OneAPI integrations do work with VS 2022, and I can live with that. 

          So, no need to open a support ticket. Thank you anyway, I appreciate it.

This experience differs from mine. Complete uninstall and re-install of Visual Studio does not do the trick - I tried this last year. And integration fails also in VS2022.
