title: Intel C++ Compiler Installer not finding Visual Studio
body: <p>So I was trying to install the Intel C++ Compiler (in the Parallel Studio XE 2018 bundle) and when I go to install it comes up with the warning "Intel C++ Compiler will not work because none of the supported environments is found on your computer," among others. However, one of those supported environments is Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, which I have installed.</p>
  
  <p>I read online that there's some issue with the most recent versions of Visual Studio and that the compiler only works with versions 15.6 and below. I have 15.5.6, but of the Community version. I'm not sure if the Professional version is required; if it is I don't have it installed and I can't figure how to install a previous version.</p>
  
  <p>If there is no way to make this work (or there is, but it's too much of a pain), suggestions for other C++ compilers would be appreciated.</p>
