The installation of OneAPI Base Toolkit and Intel HPC Toolkit for Windows 11

[Jonathan_Chu]

Howdy,

We have one company-developed software which is a C++ based numerical library developed by applying the Visual Studio 2019 on Windows 10. This software needs to use Intel MKL and OpenMP in computation and was released in 2020.

Currently, we tried to install this software to a new machine with Windows 11 as the OS. In order to let it work, we installed the latest Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit and Intel HPC Toolkit (both of these two toolkits were installed with complete package without any tailoring).

However, during the testing, it was found that the Visual Studio (still 2019) could not find required files, including libiomanip.lib, mkl_intel_thread.2.lib, etc. After little online search, it was found that the two toolkits may need to be reinstalled with C++ package only(?).

Is this the only solution or we have some other ways to solve this issues?

Thank you for your reading and wish to hear some good news

Hi Jonathan,

During the installation of Visual Studio, please ensure to select the 'Desktop development with C++' component. Please note, that our engineering team has tested and documented the compatible Visual Studio versions and their build numbers for integration with the suite & toolkit versions.

Please refer to the below link to know more about Intel® Compilers Compatibility:

Link: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/reference-implementation/intel-compilers-compatibility-with-microsoft-visual-studio-and-xcode.html

So, Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Version: 16.11.40 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 Version: 17.11.4 is the tested and validated IDE from our engineering team for the latest Intel® Toolkits (i.e.: Version: 2025)
