title: Use Intel C++ Compiler (Composer) 2011 with Qt without Visual Studio on Windows
body: <p>Why does the intel compiler on Windows keep nagging about visual studio? I don't have visual studio and I don't want it!!! is that the only option I have??? I'm a Qt programmer who've been using MinGW as a compiler, and never needed Visual Studio. On Linux, the intel compiler is totally independent and doesn't need any other compilers to work. Could anyone please explain what's the deal with this Intel Compiler and why it's not standalone?</p>
  
  <p>Please tell me what I should do to get it to work with Qt without Visual Studio.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: To be clear about the problem, when I try to use icl.exe to compile some file, it gives me this error:</p>
  
  <p>icl: error #10114: Microsoft Visual C++ not found in path</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any efforts! :-)</p>
