Convert Projects to Use a Selected Compiler

You can use the command-line interface ICProjConvert<version>.exe to transform your Intel® C++ projects into Microsoft Visual C++ projects, or vice versa. The syntax is:

ICProjConvert<version>.exe <sln_file | prj_files> </VC[:"VCtoolset name"] | /IC[:"ICtoolset name"]> [/q] [/nologo] [/msvc] [/s] [/f]

Where:

Parameter

Description

version

The ICProjConvert version number. Values are: 191 or 192.

sln_file

A path to the solution file, which should be modified to use a specified project system.

Example

To convert all Intel® C++ project files to use Microsoft Visual C++ in your current directory and its subdirectories, use the command:

ICProjConvert<version>.exe *.icproj /s /VC

NOTE:
If you uninstall the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler, ICProjConvert<version>.exe remains in the folder Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\shared files\ia32\Bin. You can use it to transform Intel® C++ projects back into Microsoft Visual C++.
