Hi,

Just downloaded the Intel Parallel Studio XE Trial, and in the front page it says it has Intel Parallel Advisor but when I install it is not there. What's up with that?

Is Advisor part of the Intel Parallel Studio XE or not?

Can I install Advisor separately? Is it licensed separately? If so WHY?

Because on the main page of XE I see: "Develop parallel applications the easy way with Intel Parallel Advisor. This threading assistant tool for C/C++ Microsoft Visual Studio* developers provides a step-by-step proposal that simplifies transitioning serial applications to parallelism. Now available with the purchase of Windows* versions of Intel Parallel Studio XE or Intel C++ Studio XE parallel software development suites."

Intel Parallel Studio XE includes these industry-leading components:

• Intel Composer XE
  Optimizing compilers and
  high-performance libraries

• Intel Inspector XE
  Powerful thread and memory error checker

• Static Security Analysis
  Close security vulnerabilities and weed out a range of bugs

• Intel VTune Amplifier XE
  Advanced performance profiler

• Intel Parallel Advisor
  Threading
  assistant tool for C/C++ Microsoft Visual Studio* developers -
  available with Windows* versions of Intel Parallel Studio XE or Intel
  C++ Studio XE.

But it's not there... http://registrationcenter-download.intel.com/akdlm/irc_nas/2159/parallel...

If it's part of the product why does it need to be installed separately? Can't you update the installer to install everything in one simple step?
