So it can be used without Visual Studio. <BR />But there is no GUI for compiler andsource editing, Intel Comopser XE is used from command line, if there is no Visual Studio.<BR /><BR />Regards,<BR />Kirill Fri, 06 May 2011 12:11:50 GMT Kirill_R_Intel 2011-05-06T12:11:50Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/Do-I-need-Visual-Studio/m-p/746087#M2151 I would like to buy Intel Parallel Studio XE Fortran and C++. the question is do I need Visual Studio for the GUI or is Intel Parallel Studio XE Fortran and C++ self contained with its own GUI?<BR /><BR />In the past with intel fortran compiles there has always been lots of issues of which versions of Visual Studio will support wich fortran versions??<BR /><BR />What do I need for the GUI?<BR /><BR />thanks, Thu, 05 May 2011 20:50:10 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/Do-I-need-Visual-Studio/m-p/746087#M2151 Mike_H_ 2011-05-05T20:50:10Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Software-Archive/Do-I-need-Visual-Studio/m-p/746088#M2152 Intel Parallel Studio XE contains it's own GUI for Intel VTune Amplifier XE and Intel Inspector XE.
