CVF 6.6 to Windows7

[davidgraham]

I have CVF 6.6 installed on Windows XP and am moving to Windows 7.

Can I install CVF 6.6 on Windows 7 or do I need to upgrade to IVF 11.1.

Sorry, I'm sure this qusstion has been asked many time before but I couldn't find the answer.

Thanks,

David

Unfortunately I have had problems with CVF on Windows 7, although I believe the compatability problem is within Visual Studio 6.0 rather than CVF itself. You could also try the Virtual Machine approachenabling youto simulate XP but not all computers support this, I don't know if anyone has had any success with this, I can't say because none of my computers support this feature.

IVF 11.1 works on Windows 7 so this is probably the best option if you can justify the cost. You will get access to more Fortran 2003 features.

I managed to install CVF 6.6c on Windows 7, but after I had built a simple project VS 6.0 or CVF was not operational anymore, with some kind of mysterious messages. I agree that VS 6.0 seems to be the problem, and converting to IVF 11.1 is the best solution. I takes some time to get rid of the errors in the sources which CVF was not able to catch, but when this is done IVF proves to be the superior compiler. Steve Lionel recommends to use VS 2008 on Windows 7, but IVF works fine with VS2005 as well.

I installed CVF 6.6 in XP mode and it works OK. There was thread about it on forum
