compiling error Windowssdkdir not found

rohit_g_2 — Fri, 18 Oct 2013 14:07:16 GMT

Hello ,

I am new user of intel fortran compiler. When I open command prompt for compiling fortran77 code it shows an error that is 'WindowsSdkDir not found'

I am using visual studio 2008 and intel fortran compiler 11.1.072 .I followed all the instructions which was previously discussed in this forum.

(i.e set a variable path for windowssdkdir ,then I uninstalled the both VS2008 and compiler then I installed VS2008 first and followed by compiler but still showing the same error.)

1. I am using 64bit machine with XP platform. are there any perticular things which we need to take care while installing both the vs2008 and compiler?

What is strange to see that when I installed VS2005 and intel fortran compiler 9.1 then it works properly.

2. I have some make files which were compiled already in 11.1 , is it possible that same make file I can use it to compile it in version 9.1 or any modification is required?

Please find attached ppt. to see the screenshot of error.

Can you please help me on this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Which edition of VS2008 is

Which edition of VS2008 is this? Standard? Express? Professional? If Professional or higher, did you select a Custom install and select the "x64 compiler and tools" as directed by the Fortran release notes?

Click Next.
2. Click Add or Remove Features
3. Under “Select features to install”, expand Language Tools > Visual C++
4. If the box “X64 Compiler and Tools” is not checked, check it, then click Update. If the

Hello ,

I did all the things which you have mentioned. 'X64 compiler and tools' was already checked.

Then I uninstalled and reinstalled the fortran.

still no success.

Can you please help on this.What is goining wrong?

Search your system for a file

Steven_L_Intel1 — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 14:06:35 GMT

Search your system for a file named kernel32.lib You may have multiple copies of it, but it should be in a folder with a name similar to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\lib (There will also be an x64 subfolder with this library). Copy the path to this folder and go into Tools > Options > Intel Visual Fortran > Compilers > Library Files. Add a new line and paste in the path to the folder you found. Click on the x64 tab and add the same line, but add \x64 at the end. Click OK.

See if this fixes the problem.

Hello

There are multiple Kernel32.lib files.

I don't have folder called v7.0A instead of that I have files v5.0 and v6.0A.

v5.0 have only Include and lib folders.

while V6.0A have everything.
