Intel C++ build failures on Windows Vista

I'm afraid the Intel C++ 10.0 build errors we thought we had
successfully dealt with last week are back, this time on Vista:

   http://people.apache.org/~sebor/stdcxx/results/

I can't think of anything that has changed in the stdcxx build
scripts recently that could be causing this. Farid, can you?

Andrew, do you have any idea if something might have changed
on skylight in the last days that could be responsible for
these failures? Any patches or any other software getting
installed by IT or anyone else?

Travis, was the error similar to what you saw when you did
a manual build on one of the XP boxes last week? Do you
think we should try to get the Intel compiler reinstalled?

  No. The latest changes was adding ASL headers in .config files.
No script files has changed.

We were only testing MSVC on vista, and if you look at the history for
the requests in question through the internal infrastructure, this
should reflect that.

I seem to remember that we were also, but I could be wrong. Doesn't the
internal build infrastructure keep a history?

Yes, it appears something is wrong with the environment.

I get this error when trying to run the build script on skylight.

  C:\Temp\vitek\stdcxx-trunk>build_icc-10.0.bat 12s
  Solution build script
  Checking arguments...
  Unable to create VCProjectEngine object: Could not create object named
"VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine.8.0".
  Loading solution...
  Current compiler: Intel(R) C++ 10.0.026 [Intel(R) 64]
  Selected compiler: Intel(R) C++ 10.0.026 [IA-32]
  Performing configure step...

Later, after running the config tests, the null pointer exception
message appears and the build terminates. I believe that this is a
pretty good indicator that there is a problem with the compiler
installation. Specifically the Visual Studio install.

Farid, I do not see this error in the build output from the nightly
builds, but I expect that I would. The null pointer exception that comes
up later does appear in the logs, but this output does not. Is it
possible that the missing message is caused by a problem in the build
script?

I thought we were testing on Vista last week, but I could very
well be misremembering. I trust you when you say we weren't.

So the Vista machine probably suffers from the same problem as
the XP boxes last week. Reinstalling Intel C++ fixed the issue
there so it looks like we need to see about getting IT to
reinstall the compiler on this box as well.

What changed was that I started testing with ICC on vista, where we
hadn't been before.  Also started at the same time was 32 bit MSVC
builds on 64-bit windows XP and windows 2003, along with ECCP on redhat
5, suse 9.1 and suse 10.
