offline installer needs internet?

[sambar]

While trying to install BaseKit 2022.1.2.154, the installer crashes. Setup file is w_BaseKit_p_2022.1.2.154_offline.exe. Was expecting something smooth as CVF install or install similar to parallel studio, however was intimidated by the serious number of products and prerequisites.

There are two issues 

1. Why does the offline installer try to Download something? This is forbidden in our security environment. Isn't this against the definition of offline installer?
2. VS 2019 Pro is installed, however installer could not find it.

Can you not dumb the installer for ifort users with some automatic options in Base kit? Some folks pay a premium for ifort only and do not care about the thousand things that we may not use in our lifetime.

What are the minimum things that are needed for ifort users looking only for coarray parallalization?

Went with the install of both HPC Toolkit (no success) and Parallel Studio 2020 (no sucess). Both of them are complaining that they cannot find Visual Studio 2019.

I know for sure that VS 2019 Pro is installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled again with Certificates. No sucess.

I am in an firewalled env where we cannot do anything without involving security. This is frustrating.

Let me know if you want me to open a ticket via Intel Premier Support.

Hi Ragunath, we apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Please note you need to have the Desktop development with C++ workload installed into each Visual Studio instance beforehand to enable integration into IDE automatically. For guidance on how to do that, visit> https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/guide/installing-microsoft-visual-studio-...

Regarding the offline installer trying to connect to the internet, we are testing out the issue. Could you share the complete log file with us? We assume that the download is regarding some Graphics drivers that the installer is unable to find within your system however, we need the complete log file to investigate further. The default location for the log file> C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\logs

[sambar]

Thanks for your reply.

We have been at this install thing since the end of last week. After googling I found the exact page that you had linked and followed the same instructions in the 2nd try.  The sample instructions are also based on VS 2019 Pro so it is an exact match.  

Here's the log file (or atleast two versions of it).

I don't have access to other log files as in our org we need to involve both admins and security to do anything. So essentially three people are trying to install one product and still cannot get it done. We are forbidden to have any product that connects to internet.

Hi sambar,

Could you please capture logs from %TEMP%\intel_oneapi_installer 

We will check what happens.

Thank you,

Vasily.

Vasily_R_Intel1,

We had uninstalled VS 2019 Pro and plan to install VS 2022 Pro and try this process again today. The log files that you have requested goes to elevated users directories and woun have been cleaned up by cache cleaning scripts automatically by now. As everything is in uninstalled state there is no log that I can provide you now.

I will make sure that I save the logs from temp folder and share it with you, depending on how this process goes.

Thanks.

[Vasily_R_Intel1]

Thank you! This issue can be related recent VS updates - right now we check how installer work with updated VS and this info will be very helpful 

[sambar]

Installed VS 2022 Pro and the install had failed. I saved the log files from %TEMP% as you had suggested. Please see the zip file.

It looks like the offline software is trying to connect to internet and download something.

Thanks.

Thanks for the update.

I have been trying to move chains from my end too. We tried to repair the VS 2019 Pro. We still get the same error that BaseKit cannot find the IDE.

I had requested a system update to latest version of VS 2019 (from Version 16.1.6 to Version 16.7.24) in my org. I was told that I would rather be provided with a new license of VS 2022 Pro than let me connect to the internet. Internet is “E.V.I.L. Boys” (c Disney).  Fun. I am planning to try install again after updating VS version.

If you have anything for me, please share.

[ArpanB_Intel]

Raghunath, we tested out the installation in the offline mode. However, we were unable to replicate your issue. The offline installer seemed to perform normally in an air gapped mode. However, we are still checking the log files you had earlier shared. We will share our findings regarding that soon.

[sambar]

This is the latest update from our security person:

I have isolated the problem to the Symantec Antivirus interfering with the graphics debug component that is trying to be installed. Because this component can’t successfully install it flags the whole VS2022 installation as incomplete. At this time I have not isolated exactly what within Symantec is triggering the over aggressive protection but I am continuing to look into it.

Thanks.

[ArpanB_Intel · Accepted solution]

Ragunath, our investigation has shown us that on Microsoft* Windows*, the installation of Intel® oneAPI Toolkits versions 2022.1 and 2022.1.2 and standalone components will fail using Microsoft* Visual Studio* 2022 version 17.1.x.

There are 2 possible workarounds, prior to installing an Intel® oneAPI toolkit or component:

• Uninstall Visual Studio 2022 version 17.1.x and install the older version 17.0.6 from here Visual Studio 2022 Release History | Microsoft Docs> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2022/release-history.
• Replace Microsoft.VisualStudio.Setup.Configuration.Native.dll with same dll from a Visual Studio 2022 17.0.x release. For example, from version 17.0.6 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2022/release-history

We are striving to provide a new release in the weeks ahead to address this installation issue. Please let me know if you have any questions on this.

[sambar]

This workaround had worked. I am able to install in a 2nd computer that connects to internet.

The issue with Symantec interfering with VS 2022 install is still unresolved. But I understand that it is not an Intel issue.  If needed I plan to use Intel Support to ask additional questions from our IT guys.

Thanks for your support to resolve this issue to this extent.

[ArpanB_Intel]

Ragunath, thank you for accepting our solution. We are glad that the issue is resolved.

If you have any further queries, please post a new question as this this thread will no longer be monitored by Intel®.
