I need intel compiler for my work on My windows [Win7 Prof, 64bit]. I am planning to download the trial version for the same i.e. Intel® Parallel Studio XE.
Could I install this without installing Visual Studio ? I wish to use this on command line only i.e. icl.exe through Cygwin.
Any help is appreciated.
Yes you can.
Per the documentation, you have support for:
Command Line (What you're looking for)
Visual Studio
Eclipse
XCode

I'm trying to install CUDA, but I get a message saying "No supported version of visual studio was found". I think that this is because I am using Visual Studio 2017 (Community), and CUDA currently only supports up to Visual Studio 2015. Unfortunately, Microsoft will not allow me to download old versions of Visual Studio without paying a subscription fee.
Is there a way I can get around the compatibility issue with VS 2017, or can I not use CUDA?
If you want to install CUDA 8.0 with Visual Studio 2017 you need to install additional components for Visual Studio 2017.Click on the Start Menu and type Visual Studio Installer. Open Visual Studio InstallerOpen Individual components tab and select VC++ 2015.3 v140 toolset
under Compilers, build tools and runtimes.
You also need to install .NET Framework 3.5 if you didn't have it installed. Nvda.Build.CudaTasks.v8.0.dll assembly dependents on MS .NET Framework 3.5.
Open Classical Control Panel, go to Programs and features and press Turn Windows features on or off. Check .NET Framework 3.5 and press OK.
Download full CUDA toolkit distribution and extract it somewhere on your disk.
If you didn't have CUDA toolkit installed, do it now. If you have only Visual Studio 2017 installed, unselect Visual Studio integration checkbox.
Now you want to receive the "No supported version of the visual studio was found" error.
But in order to successfully build Cuda toolkit projects in Visual Studio 2017, you also need to follow steps 5 and 6.
Go to the CUDAVisualStudioIntegration\extras\visual_studio_integration\MSBuildExtensions folder in your extracted distribution, copy all the files and paste them to C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\v140\BuildCustomizations:
In the last step, you will need to edit your Cuda projects to recognize NVidia's build tasks from Visual Studio 2017. Open your .vcxproj file in a text editor and find all occurrences of CUDA 8.0.props. Replace the macro at the beginning of the string with $(VCTargetsPath14) so that XML snippet would look as follows:
<ImportGroup Label="ExtensionSettings">
<Import Project="$(VCTargetsPath14)\BuildCustomizations\CUDA 8.0.props" /></ImportGroup>
Don't forget to edit the custom targets path at the end of the file:
<ImportGroup Label="ExtensionTargets">
<Import Project="$(VCTargetsPath14)\BuildCustomizations\CUDA 8.0.targets" /></ImportGroup>
Make sure to double check your path conifuration!
If you use nvcc from command prompt you might not be calling cl.exe from Visual Studio folder!
Now you can build your Cuda project from Visual Studio 2017.
Parts of this solution are from Oleg Tarasov blog.
At the moment, Microsoft still seems to be making VS2015 Update 2 community edition available. You have to join the "dev essentials" program, but it seems to be free.
I was able to download the installer from here recently.
Update: CUDA 9 RC was made available yesterday at developer.nvidia.com to registered developers, and it has support for VS 2017.
Thank you everyone for your help. I just wanted to supplement this post with the last pieces of the puzzle. CUDA v9.0 RC is looking for VS2017 to identify as 1910 but the latest update actually identifies as 1911. To fix open .../CUDA/v9.0/include/crt/host_config.h and change this line:
#if _MSC_VER < 1600 || _MSC_VER > 1910
to this:
#if _MSC_VER < 1600 || _MSC_VER > 1911
You may also have to add the following to your CMakeLists:
list(APPEND CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS --cl-version=2017)
For people seeing this latter.
First, try to just install CUDA 10 (CUDA Toolkit 10.0).
If it still doesn't work without any mods make sure that you have as many VC++ toolsets as you see on the list. Check out this video, stop at 8:41 and compare the lists.
If for some reason you have to use CUDA 9.0 - 9.2 you will need to jump some hoops:
For cmd builds set vcvars_ver=14.11 - see this answer
For IDE builds set Platform Toolset (in project properties - General) to
Visual Studio 2017 (v141)) or
Visual Studio 2015 (v140))
If you have very customized cmd based build, hunt #if _MSC_VER (in .../CUDA/.../include/crt/host_config.h) and remove trailing || _MSC_VER > ...
In order to get working Cuda compiler nvcc in windows shell you need to do following
install proper toolset version from individual component for VS 2017 - VC++ 2017 version 15.4 v.14.11 toolset
Run in windows shell following "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64 -vcvars_ver=14.11
You can compile nvcc code without errors from windows shell
I ran into the same issue using CUDA 9.1 and VS2017 Enterprise.
After changing the VC++ compiler to v140 (instead of 141) everything runs fine.
Already had flags
#if _MSC_VER < 1600 || _MSC_VER > 1911
But it wouldn't stop showing the error.
No idea why, but trying to run it on VS2015 lead to errors about v141 not being installed... so because of some twisted logic I tried to not use v141 where it was installed... and everything worked!!
Leaving this here as it may help someone else in the same situation. (although I really don't understand the why, how, when, who or what of the solution.
Latest update (correct as of 06/12/2018) latest Cuda version is 9.2 and latest Visual Studio version is 2017.7 do NOT work together. The instructions provided in solution above don't work. Here is what worked for me:
Uninstall Visual Studio.
Uninstall Visual Studio Installer
Download Visual Studio 2017.6 (note that Microsoft is known to change links and revisions without notice) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/productinfo/installing-an-earlier-release-of-vs2017
Launch installer
Go to Individual Components. Click on Windows 10 SDK 10.0.15063
enter image description here
Download cuda Toolkit from the official website: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads?target_os=Windows&target_arch=x86_64&target_version=10&target_type=exelocal
You may need to download patch.
I wanted to edit my CUDA programs using a text editor (i.e. Sublime) and compile them from the command prompt but I ran into an nvcc compiler error. I installed Visual Studio 2017 with Windows 10 OS but after compiling, it said "only version of VS 2012, 13, 15 and 17 are allowed." So what I did was to intall VC++ 2015 toolkit from the installation package of the VS 2017 installer (refer to the image of the top post). I didnt go through his entire process instead, I only copied the path of my cl.exe file from the newly created VS 14.0 folder to the environment variable. The .exe can be found here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin
Hope this helps!
Just as update. My compatibility is:
Cuda version 11.2
Visual Studio Community 2019
So I was trying to install the Intel C++ Compiler (in the Parallel Studio XE 2018 bundle) and when I go to install it comes up with the warning "Intel C++ Compiler will not work because none of the supported environments is found on your computer," among others. However, one of those supported environments is Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, which I have installed.
I read online that there's some issue with the most recent versions of Visual Studio and that the compiler only works with versions 15.6 and below. I have 15.5.6, but of the Community version. I'm not sure if the Professional version is required; if it is I don't have it installed and I can't figure how to install a previous version.
If there is no way to make this work (or there is, but it's too much of a pain), suggestions for other C++ compilers would be appreciated.
You could see this document about “Troubleshooting Fortran Integration Issues with Microsoft Visual Studio*”：
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/troubleshooting-fortran-integration-issues-with-visual-studio/
It shared the version of Visual Studio that is supported by the Intel Parallel Studio XE now.
I would like to install latest version of Qt (5.5) on Windows 7 for C/C++ application development, and have a few questions:
Can I use Microsoft "Visual Studio Community" edition (2015) as the compiler?
I assume I need to install Visual studio first and then Qt?
I am going to install Qt from here, after downloading and installation do I need to build Qt? Or it is ready to go?
Is there a tutorial that explains all the required steps in details. I have done Google search and found bits and pieces here and there not not a good complete step-by-step reference.
Thanks for the help.
You need the compiler, which is integrated in visual studio. I don't think you can get the newer ones without Visual Studio (From official sources). However, you can use Qt on windows without msvc. You can build with the minGw compiler - but I personally like msvc more.
Regarding VS2015: It won't work without extra configuration. Qt 5.5 supports msvc2013 only (the next release, 5.6, will support the msvc2015 compiler). But Visual Studio 2013 will work. The order of installation doesn't matter.
After you installed Qt, all you need to do is launch Qt-Creator and start coding ;) If you wan't to use Visual Studio instead, there is a Plugin on the bottom of the download page ("Other downloads"). Visual Studio 2015 isn't supported here too, but 2013 is.
I am trying to mex a c++ source file containing openmp usages. In the mex command, i have added COMPFLAGS="/openmp $COMPFLAGS" but it says cannot find vcomp.lib. My matlab mex have been setup to use the compiler of Windows SDK 7.1 located in C:\Program Files. I checked the lib files inside this SDK and didn't find vcomp.lib. Anyone knows how can I install openmp to Windows SDK 7.1? Thanks a lot!
Based on this thread, it seems openmp is not shipped with Windows SDK. It is only shipped with Visual Studion Professional or Ultimate.
This matlab central site proposed a method to enable the matlab mex to use the Visual Studio 2013 compiler instead of the Windows SDK compiler. OpenMP is shipped with Visual Studio 2013 Professional and I can now compile code with OpenMp Enabled!
I am trying to compile this Hello World program in Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2010 installed, but I get the following error message when I run nvcc hellocuda.cu:
nvcc fatal : nvcc cannot find a supported cl version. Only MSVC 8.0 and MSVC 9.0 are supported
How can I compile this CUDA program ?
NVCC checks VC++ compiler version from Visual Studio environment variables. NVCC says it supports only MSVC 8.0 and 9.0 compilers. In your case, you have MSVC 10.0 compiler. There seems to be a workaround to this issue, check out post #7 in this thread:

If you keep having problems getting it working with MSVC10, bear in mind that you can download the Express version of MSVC9 (i.e. the 2008 version) for free -- so you can always download it and compile with that instead. But I would try swatkat's workaround first :)
Here's the link:

Visual Studio 2008 Express was needed. (Thanks sgolodetz)
So with Visual Studio 2010 Professional (maybe 2010 Express works too?), NVIDIA Parallel Nsight, CUDA Toolkit, Developer Drivers, and GPU Computing SDK code samples (toolkit, drivers, and sdk can be downloaded here) I was able to run the example Hello World in CUDA program.
How to create/upgrade a CUDA project in VS2008 and VS2010 to work with Nsight 1.5 and CUDA 3.2 was very helpful in starting a new VS 2010 CUDA project with the proper settings.
Side note: I was never able to get the command line nvcc to work correctly, but I rather use VS 2010 IDE instead.
Update: How do I start a new CUDA app in visual studio 2008?'s answer was also useful
With CUDA 4.0 you can use the VC10 toolchain. See this answer for a step-by-step.
