User and Reference Guide for the Intel® C++ Compiler 14.0

Switching Back to the Visual C++* Compiler

The following applies to C++ for Microsoft Visual Studio* 2010 and 2008.

If your project is using the Intel® C++ Compiler, you can choose to switch back to the Microsoft Visual C++* Compiler by doing the following:

  1. Select the project. To select more than one project, use CTRL-Left Click.
  2. Right-click and select Intel C++ Composer XE 2013 > Use Visual C++ from the context menu. In Visual Studio* 2008, you can click the button on the toolbar.
This action updates the solution file to use the Visual C++* compiler. All configurations of affected projects are automatically cleaned unless you select Do not clean project(s) . If you choose not to clean projects, you will need to rebuild updated projects to ensure all source files are compiled with the new compiler.

Note

Removing the Intel® C++ Compiler from one Intel® C++ project does not affect other Intel® C++ projects.
