I tried to download the new update

Can anyone explain:

32-bit/x86-64bit is for a normal windows xp, is that correct?

What's "Redistributable Libraries for IA-32/Intel 64 msi files"? Is this one for IA-64?

Why can't intel just make one install file? Those name always confuse me.

See the resdistib page
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/redistributable-libraries-for-the-intel-c-and-visual-fortran-composer-xe-for-windows/

from that...
Note:

The redistributable library package: this is intended for end users. It contains two .msi installation files: one .msi is for IA-32 applications; one .msi is for Intel-64 applications.

The redistributable merge module: this is intended for developers who create the application installation program. It contains two .msm installation merge files: one .msm is for the installation program of an IA-32 application. another .msm is for the installation program of an Intel-64 application.

The redistributable packages contain the redistributable files from Intel C++ Compiler and Intel Visual Fortran Compiler only. The Intel IPP, Intel MKL or Intel TBB redistributable files are not included.

Sorry for the confusion.

For 'normal' that is 32bit XP, you only need the ..._ia32.exe package. IF you have 64bit XP, "XP Pro x64" for example, then you would need both 32 and 64 bit compilers (the .exe package ) OR the ..._intel64.exe kit if you only want 64bit capability.

There is a note in this thread describing the "Redistributable Libraries" - this is used by developers who want to deploy their .exe files on computers that do NOT have the Intel compiler installed. It's our runtime libraries.

Our users have told us they want the option to download the full kit, just the 32bit kit, OR the 64bit kit. The majority of our users prefer the choices, as the single compiler kits are smaller and easier to download. This is especially true for users with slow internet connections.
