C/C++ 2005.net between v9 and v10

[deus81]

Hello.

I have almost no idea about the workings of Visual Fortran and C++ so if I sound foolish, forgive me.

I have heard that Visual Fortran v9 requires C++ 2005.net which needs to be purchased separately. But that v10 (although also needing C++) comes with all that it requires in the bundle.

Intel have indicated that if i buy v10 then v9 will be available to me for download.

My question is: If I purchase Visual Fortran v10, then download v9, will i need to purchase Visual C/C++ 2005.net seperatly or will the components that come with v10 be adequate.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Gian

You will not need to purchase Visual C++ separately. Here's what you'd do.

1. Purchase and install Intel Visual Fortran 10.1 which includes Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition. I recommend downloading the latest version from the Intel Registration Center.
2. Log in to the Intel Registration Center, and on the page for 10.1, you'll see a dropdown box allowing you to select an older version. You can select version 9.1 here. (9.0 will not work for this.) Download the latest 9.1 provided.
3. Install 9.1, select a Custom install. Install only the compiler and not the Visual Studio Integration nor Intel Debugger. It will complain that it did not find Visual C++ but let it install anyway.
4. Start Visual Studio. Select Tools > Options > Intel Fortran > Compilers. Change the active compiler to be 9.1.

Now it should all work from within Visual Studio. You may see warning messages about "Visual C++ not found" but they are harmless.

Does this help?

Thanks! I will give this a go and let you know how it goes.
