The beta test program for Intel Parallel Studio has begun!

Intel Parallel Composer is now available for beta testing.

This forum will be the place for all discussions, questions, issues, and even bugs (if there areany, of course) about any and all of the components and features of Parallel Studio.

The beta tests for the rest of the Parallel Studio components, Intel Parallel Inspector, Amplifier, and Advisorwill begin a bit later. Stay tuned here for any updates.

A few key links to keep in mind:

We are looking forward to your feedback! Please feel free to post any and all of your comments here!

Quoting - JOE WOLF (Intel) - We are trying update2. During installation process, we have got an error dialog (in Japanese)

"Package is broken.

C:Program FilesIntelDownloadComposer20091041mediaconfig.xml"

- C:Program FilesIntelDownloadComposer20091041 includes only a file "Resources.dll".

Setup.exe seems to require "mediaconfig.xml" and so on in C:Program FilesIntelDownloadComposer20091041

- Our workaround is rename the folder

from

C:Program FilesIntelDownloadComposer20091033

to

C:Program FilesIntelDownloadComposer20091041

- We tried 3 cases and got the same results.

composer_beta_update2_ia32_setup.exe on WindowsXP Professional sp3 (32bit version)

composer_beta_update2_setup.exe on WindowsXP Professional sp3 (32bit version)

composer_beta_update2_setup.exe on Windows HPC Server 2008

Is C:Program FilesIntelDownloadComposer20091033 latest?

Hi Joe,

Hi There

Downloaded the Beta this morning and installed it on my machine which is running Vista 64Bit with all service packs, and with Visual Studio 2008 Pro with all updates. Install went fine but when VS is started it just sits there with Updating Toolbox in the bottom left hand corner and nothing happens. Tried to start VS three times and each time window opens up but gets stuck with a grey background and thats it.

I went to uninstall the beta to try a fresh install but the uninstall crashes right away. Anyone got any ideas as to what has gone wrong?

I've done the fix suggested in the thread 'Package Load Failure' and I now have a working vstudio and it says intel composer is installed on the start splash screen, but when I go to the project menu with a project selected there is no entry to switch to the the Intel Compiler. Any ideas how to fix that?

Do you see a new toolbar like this? the 2nd icon will make the project or solution to use Intel C++ compiler. Jennifer

Also, go to View->Toolbars-> and you should see that Intel C++, Intel Parallel Debugger Extension are tick-marked? Which means that the toolbar that Jennifer mentions above should have the icon displayed that you can use to set the mode to INtel C++ compiler.

Thanks for the help. Iam not seeing the toolbar, nor do I have it listed in the View/Toolbars menus. Somethings gone wrong somewhere, I would reinstall but the uninstall of Composer crashes out.

Assuming you're not using the express edition. Try the following steps: 1. save the follow to "fix.bat" under "C:Program FilesIntelComposer2009CompilerVS IntegrationC++VS2008": @echo off if "%~1"=="/u" goto uninstall set VS_DIR=C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 9.0 call "%VS_DIR%Common7Toolsvsvars32.bat" goto install :install
regsvr32OptPkg.dll
regsvr32IntelPkg.dll
regsvr32icUtil.dll goto finish :uninstall
regsvr32 /uicUtil.dll
regsvr32 /uIntelPkg.dll
regsvr32 /uOptPkg.dll :finish devenv /setup /nosetupvstemplates set VS_DIR= 2. open a command prompt from VS2008 menu (start ->...) 3. "cd" to "C:Program FilesIntelComposer2009CompilerVS IntegrationC++VS2008" 4. run cmd below 3 times >> fix.bat /u 5. run cmd below1 times >> fix.bat

6. open VS2008 and check the toolbar.

Please note step 5, is there any registration failed?

Thanks again for your help. The fix you suggested was the one I already tried but I did it again, on running fix.bat all the dll's succeded in installing but I still have no toolbar, no option to use intel c++, and I still have Intel Composer Options on the options dialog so something is there but not all.

Any other ideas? Oh yes and this is Visual Studio 2008 Pro edition :)

When you first open the VS2008, did you select "Visual C++" or other language to use? If you selected other than Visual C++, you have to change back to Visual C++. In order to reselect, please do following: 1. close VS 2. use "regedit" to delete this key "HKCUsoftwaremicrosoftVisualStudio9.0" 3. reopen VS to select Visual C++ 4. check if the toolbar is there.

I only have Visual C++ components installed, I dont use C#, VB or anything else, all my projects are pure C++.

An update on this, I just installed AMD code Analyst with VS2008 integration in the rather hopeful chance that while it installed itself to VS2008 it might dislodge whatever was blocking Composer and sure enough on restarting and firing up VS I now have the option to use Intel C++.

thanks,

Windows 7 is a new OS from MS. You can find more info about it from MS website.

So you didn't see the toolbar. are you using VS2008 express edition?
If not, right click on any of the icons on the "toolbar" line, do you see "Intel C++"?
