Can't install Intel MKL


I've downloaded two different versions of the Intel OneAPI BaseKit Offline Installer:

w_BaseKit_p_2021.2.0.2871_offline.exe

and

w_BaseKit_p_2022.1.2.154_offline.exe

Both properly extract, start the bootstrapper.exe, show a loading screen, and then crash and disappear.

I have unchecked "Remove temporarily extracted files after installation" to inspect what gets extracted, and double clicked bootstrapper.exe in the extracted folders. Both have the same problem: a system requirements check with some download messages pictured below

Followed by the loading screen that disappears with nothing left:

![Loading Screen

Finally, there is a path created with a ton of files:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\Installer

Within that directory there is an installer.exe. If I run it, the following screen comes up:

installer.exe

Which resembles the actual installer I expect from bootstrapper.exe but there's nothing to be done with it. When I exit from this screen, it asks are you sure, to which I answer yes, and then the whole path C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\ gets deleted.

I have no idea how to debug this, and I'm not even sure this is the appropriate place to ask. I considered superuser, but there are similar questions here.

Does anyone have any tips for researching this problem? I've installed successfully on other machines before. This is a new laptop with Windows 10. I can still successfully run the bootstrapper.exe on the old laptop.


Solution

  • I was able to get the bootstrapper.exe to work by running in compatibility mode (Right Click -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Run compatibility troubleshooter).

    After running this the installer has a compatibility warning, but I just clicked next:
