Bad system date/time can cause Microsoft Visual Studio* IDE menu items to not appear

Problem: Intel C++ Composer XE is not integrated in Microsoft Visual Studio* 2010 or 2012. You can select the Intel Compiler via the project property "Platform Toolset" and build the project, but IDE-related menu items are not available.

Resolution: Synchronise your computer with the Internet time server or manually set the correct date/time.
