Abaqus UMAT ifort.exe error: fnp_act_installer.dll

[victorlefevre]

Hi,

I would like to link and use the Visual Fortran Compiler 11.1 with Abaqus to run a UMAT file. In the Abaqus command line, when I run the following command "abaqus info=system" which draws the list of all programs linked to Abaqus, a window untitled "ifort.exe - system error" pops-up saying: "This programm can't start because FNP_Act_installer.dll is mssing from your computer. Try to reinstall the program to fix the program".

I uninstalled Abaqus, Visual Studio 2008 and the Compiler and installed them again two times without any sucess.

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks

Best regards

PS: the computer is running with windows7 64bits

How does Abaqus find the Intel compiler? Something needs to have invoked the ifortvars.bat script to set up the proper paths. That DLL, which is used in licensing checks, is in the same folder as ifort.exe, so PATH should have been modified to include that folder.
