If you have both Visual Studio* 2005 and the Platform SDK installed, the installation will set up the build environment for using the Intel® C++ Compiler for Intel® 64-based on Visual Studio 2005

If you'd like to change the build environment for Intel 64 to be based on the Platform SDK, follow the steps below:

1. Open the [install-dir]\EM64T\bin\iclvars.bat and modify the following line:

   call "[VS8-top-dir]\VC\vcvarsall" x86_amd64
   
   tocall [psdk-top-dir]\SetEnv.Cmd /X64

2. Open [install-dir]\EM64T\bin\icl.bat and make sure the following line is commented out:

   #-Qlocation,link,"[psdk-top-dir]\bin\Win64"

Also there are cases where the setup program of Intel® C++ Compiler for Windows* could not find the Platform SDK. You can still continue the installation, but after installation, follow the steps above to fix the problem for the build environment. You should be able to use the Intel C++ Compiler for Intel 64 from command line.

If you'd like to keep the existing build environment, but create a new build environment, please see Using Multiple Versions of Microsoft Visual Studio* at the Command Line for steps.
