Hi all,
I have updated my INTEL software to the latest version ("Intel System Studio 2018 Update 2 Ultimate Edition for Windows". As a result of this update, I've immediately lost the Fortran compiler in VS.
Until this update, it worked perfectly. The C++ support is present.
I think it somehow lost integration. Am getting the error message, however the integration files are in the correct folders:
1>------ Build started: Project: <_my project name_> Configuration: Debug x64 ------
1>The Fortran compiler (ifort.exe) cannot be found.
So far, I have:
- tried to "repair" the Intel visual studio - no use
- tried using the "reset" button in the VS preferences, Fortran tab - no use
- uninstalled all of Fortran compilers (INTEL visual studio)
- reinstalled it (twice so far...) - both 32 and 64 versions, my computer is x64, but just in case
- followed ALL instructions on this page: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/troubleshooting-fortran-integr...
including de- and re-registering the integrate.bat process, via the command line (yes, with Admin privileges.)
- rebooted after every one of these attempts
Hasn't made any difference. Still the same error.
I don't know if this makes any difference, but in VS the compiler is described as "Intel(R) Visual Fortran Intel(R) 64 Compiler for applications running on Intel(R) 64, version 18.0.3 Package ID: w_comp_lib_2018.3.210"
but the properties of the VFProj.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\shared files\VS Integration\VS15\Intel Fortran\VFPackages
says it's 18.0.40.15
Which is frankly weird, because I've just reinstalled that compiler twice.
Any thoughts about what I should do next? I am quite upset about this happening, as my project is due in a few days, and I really need this to work... and it was just a software update!
Thanks beforehand!
D.
