configuration isssue(?)

[jph]

I have 'inherited' some FORTRAN code and am having some basic configuration issues (I think). I have used a previous version of MS Visual Studio but never with this FORTRAN compiler, so I don't have much/any experience getting things set up.

As far as I can tell from perusing this site, it appears that MS Visual Studio (version 2022, 17.7.4) cannot recognize the Intel FORTRAN compiler (oneAPI HPC 2024.0.1) because under 'Tools/Options/' in Visual Studio, there is no option to select 'Intel Compilers and Libraries'. It is certainly possible that there were errors in installing either Visual Studio or the Intel oneAPI (or both)--I didn't do the installation(s), but could have them repeated if necessary. I know that VS was installed first, followed by the Intel SW. Unfortunately, this is an installation that cannot be connected to the internet. However, I think that the 'Visual Studio 2022 Option' was selected when installing the Intel oneAPI/FORTRAN compiler.

I would really appreciate any help that readers of this forum could provide--thanks so much in advance!

Installing Microsoft Visual Studio* for Use with Intel® Compilers

[jph]

Thanks so much for your reply--I opened the 'Visual Studio Installer' from Windows Start and selected 'Modify' ... under 'Workloads', it appears that the box is/was checked for the 'Desktop Development with C++' option ... is that what I should be looking for?

Yes. Now I suggest uninstalling the Intel product and then reinstalling. Pay close attention to any messages that come up - don't just click through them. Also, if you want only the Fortran compiler and not the other stuff in the toolkit, see Solved: The Easy and Fast Way to Install JUST Fortran with Intel® oneAPI - Intel Community

Steve,

well, I opted for the 'install only the FORTRAN compiler(s) with Intel oneAPI' option ... unfortunately, it is sort of difficult for me to send you the complete installation log, but it seemed to fail when it tried to run ......\VisualStudio.Setup.Service\VSIXInstaller.exe with exit code -2146233088, which produced an overall 'SuccessWithFail' status at the end of the installation ...

I was wondering whether you had ever seen this message before? I still cannot see the FORTRAN compiler from Visual Studio (2022, version 17.7.4). However, I did notice the below 'known issue' with the Intel FORTRAN compiler that I just found, which could apply (?):

______________________

Known Issues

Installation on Windows

There is a known issue integrating Intel software developer tools (Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit, Intel® HPC Toolkit, or their component products) into Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 (17.7 or higher) on offline systems with the Windows Performance Toolkit (Win11SDK_WindowsPerformanceToolkit) installed. This results in an incomplete integration. To work around the issue, either enable an Internet connection during Intel developer tools installation or uninstall the Windows Performance Toolkit before installing Intel developer tools, after Intel developer tools are installed, reinstall the Windows Performance Toolkit.

any help/insight would be appreciated--thanks ...

If your system has an Internet connection, AND you do not have WIndows Performance Toolkit installed then this message does not apply to you.

Do you have this system on the Internet?

Do you have WIndows Performance Toolkit installed?

I will move this over to our Installation help team's Forum.

[jph]

to answer your questions:

(1) (Internet?) no

(2) (Windows Performance Toolkit installed?) I'm not sure--we are going to check

thanks for your help ...

There is a known issue with offline installation.
Microsoft fixed it in VS 2022 17.9 Preview 2, we checked with the latest preview version on our side and confirm that the issue is resolved.

see this thread for more details 

[jph]

we have Visual Studio 2022, 17.7.4 ... so, is the issue fixed there, and if not, is there a workaround? thanks for your help!

Joe

[Ron_Green]

Microsoft has a fix in VS 2022 17.9 Preview 2 or newer.  These are "Preview" builds of Visual Studio, not the official release.  17.9.0 will release soon (we don't know when, but soon).  Be ready to upgrade when it releases OR if you can use the Preview Releases, go here to download and install

Before you install, you should Uninstall Intel oneAPI tools BEFORE you install VS 2022 17.9 Preview ( Preview 5 is the newest).  Install VS 2022 17.9, selecting to Install 'Desktop Development with C++' also (it is not default). 

Then re-install Intel oneAPI Fortran or HPC Toolkit. 

[jph]

so should we uninstall VS 2022 17.7.4 before installing VS 2022 17.9 Preview(5)?

Joe

[Ron_Green]

I would, yes.  Uninstall Intel tools.  Then uninstall 17.7.4

Install VS 2022 v17.9 Preview 5 with the Desktop Dev for C++.  THEN install Intel oneapi.

Just cleans things up and make the new install go smoothly, usually.  Your projects will not be affected.  

[jph]

Steve--thanks so much ... will give that a shot ...

Sorry, I can't help with that.
