MPI with ifort on windows with visual studio

Help
21

@rmoortgat , this is weird, since powershell.exe comes with Windows itself (in newer OS versions), in its OS base directory (usually C:\Windows\...).
Can you please open a normal command prompt (NOT powershell/pwsh prompt, i.e. running cmd.exe), and execute these two commands in order:

  1. cd\ to go at the root level of current drive (usually C:)
  2. from there, run dir /s/b | findstr /i/e "powershell.exe"

and be sure that it is found where it is supposed to?

The problem is that MS changed the command from powershell to pwsh in the latetst version 7.
I solved the problem with changing powershell into pwsh in the batch files.

I think we can conclude here.
MPI coarray programs run flawlessly from the Intel command line, however I didn’t succeed up to now to run them from within VS Studio.
It has something to do environment variables.
Adding c:\windows\system32 to the path didn’t solve it.
I get: SearchPath ERROR_code=2
I already wasted too much time and sleep on this.
Thank you all for the advice.

This seems to be an old problem due to defective integration oneApi en VS and apparently still not solved.
