Issue: Installation of Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2017 Update 4 with Microsoft* Visual Studio 2017 integration hangs and fails on some systems. The problem is intermittent and not reproducible on every system. Any attempts to repair it fails with the message "Incomplete installation of Microsoft Visual Studio* 2017 is detected". Note, in some cases the installation may complete successfully with no error/crashes, however, the integration to VS2017 is not installed.
Environment: Microsoft* Windows, Visual Studio 2017
Root Cause: A root cause was identified and reported to Microsoft*. A Workaround is expected to be implemented in Intel Parallel Studio XE 2017 Update 5.
Workaround:
Integrate the Intel Parallel Studio XE 2017 components manually. You need to run all the files from the corresponding folders:
- C++/Fortran Compiler IDE: <installdir>/ide_support_2018/VS15/*.vsix
- Amplifier: <installdir>/VTune Amplifier 2018/amplxe_vs2017-integration.vsix
- Advisor: <installdir>/Advisor 2018/advi_vs2017-integration.vsix
- Inspector: <installdir>/Inspector 2018/insp_vs2017-integration.vsix
- Debugger: <InstallDir>/ide_support_2018/MIC/*.vsix
<InstallDir>/ide_support_2018/CPUSideRDM/*.vsix
