Summary

Steps to install Intel® SGX Software Components while VS 2022 is on the system.

Description

The Intel® SGX installer GUI crashes.

Resolution

The Intel® SGX software installer is not fully compatible with VS 2022 and may crash if VS 2022 is present while trying to install Intel® SGX components. Below are methods to install the Intel® SGX PSW and SDK if VS 2022 is present on the system.

Intel® SGX Platform Software Installation
Confirm that Intel® SGX is exposed and enabled in BIOS. If the BIOS shows that Intel® SGX is Software Controlled and you cannot change it to Enabled, boot into Windows and activate it with the Intel® SGX Activation App.

After enabling Intel® SGX, install the Intel® SGX driver and PSW using one of the methods below.

  1. Automatic Installation via Windows Update
    Windows* Update automatically installs Intel® SGX components if Intel® SGX is enabled in BIOS.
    Check Device Manager | System devices and Software Components list Intel® Software Guard Extensions.
  2. Manual Installation
    If you are not receiving Windows Updates, download the PSW 2.15.100.4 for Windows and Installation Guide and follow these steps:
    1. Download the Intel® SGX PSW for Windows v2.15.100.4.zip
    2. Expand the zip file, open a command line, and navigate to: Intel SGX PSW for Windows v2.15.100.4\base\WindowsServer2019_Windows10\
    3. Execute: pnputil /add-driver sgx_base.inf /install
    4. Navigate to: Intel SGX PSW for Windows v2.15.100.4\PSW_INF_RS3_and_above
    5. Execute: pnputil /add-driver sgx_psw.inf /install

 

Intel® SGX SDK for Windows Installation
The Intel® SGX SDK for Windows does not integrate with Visual Studio* 2022. The Intel® SGX SDK integrates with VS 2017 and VS 2019.

Follow these steps to install the SDK if the GUI crashes:

  1. Make a copy of the SGX SDK installer package and change the extension of the Intel® SGX installer package from .exe to .zip.
  2. Extract the Intel® SGX installer .zip file
  3. Navigate to: Intel® SGX SDK/installs
  4. Double-click on the components you want to install:
    • SGX_SDK_100.msi
    • SEWizardVS20xx
    • SEConfigureVS20xx
