UDM Compilation Error (Help Please!)
Hello everyone,
This is my first time compiling user-defined models (UDMs) in PSS/E.
I am setting up the environment to compile UDMs for PSS®E 35.4 using the Environment Manager, but compilation is currently disabled.
The Environment Manager shows:
“No IVF / CVF Compiler installations found. Not Allowed – Compile: 35.4.0.”
and the log reports:
[64 bit] PATH/LIB files not found for Visual Studio 16.0 (VS 2019): link.exe, vc.lib
Current setup
PSS®E 35.4.0 (64-bit)
Windows 10 x64
Visual Studio Professional 2022 (Desktop C++ workload installed)
Visual Studio Build Tools 2022 and 2019 installed
Intel oneAPI HPC Toolkit 2025.3 installed
Observed behavior
Environment Manager cannot detect any compiler.
“Compiler Options” button in the GUI throws: UserDLLPage object has no attribute 'compilermajorv'.
Log shows missing linker files even though the C++ workloads are selected.
From registry check:
Intel oneAPI 2025.3 is installed under: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intel\Compilers\1AFortran
No key found at: HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intel\Compilers\Fortran
Environment Manager appears to look for the older “Fortran” key used by previous Intel Fortran Classic (ifort) installations.
Request for confirmation
Which Intel Fortran Compiler version should be installed for full compatibility with PSS®E 35.4 UDM compilation?
Which Visual Studio version or toolset is recommended to ensure the compiler and linker are properly detected?
Any help will be super appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Here is is the error message in the compiler:

If contacting PSSE Support for resolution of this error, please send this log file.
You can make a compiler script in python with the psse env manager (only avalaible in python 2). Mine script for this job is the following https://github.com/jbarberia/PSSEscripts/blob/main/scripts%2Fcompila.py
