Compiling .cpp file with Intel C++ Compiler error

Hi Everyone, I've only been playing around with C++ for 2 days now. I've started creating a small program in Visual Studio 2013 which compiled fine.

I however read about different compilers being available for C++ so I wanted to give the Intel compiler a try.

During the installation it requested a Windows SDK path which contains the folders "Lib", "Bin" and "Include". After researching a bit on the internet it seemed most likely to enter "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0"

When I now run the C++ compiler though with the following command:
"D:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.1\054\bin\intel64\icl.exe" Main.cpp
I receive the following error:

icl: warning #10114: Microsoft Visual C++ not found in path

Main.cpp(1): catastrophic error: could not open source file "string"
  #include <string>
                   ^

compilation aborted for Main.cpp (code 4)



It looks like I'm missing the default libraries. Does someone have any idea on how to resolve this issue?
Why not just run the compiler from VS?
Thanks this seems to have solved my issue
