Compiling from the command line

Hi,

I am evaluating Intel's Fortran Compiler and are trying to compile a program from the command line. I get a message that "Microsoft Visual C++" can't be found and that mspdb80.dll can't be found.

The command window I am using has not been opened by Visual Studio.

What paths and other information needs to be added to the environment for this to work?

The operating system is XP.

Sincerely yours,

Svein-Atle Engeseth

Visual Studio must have the C++ support component installed corresponding to the ifort you are using (32-bit/Intel64/IA-64). Only VS2005 supports Intel64. You should open (but not necessarily complete) a VS C++ project, to complete that installation, prior to installing/repairing ifort.
In my experience with VS2005 Express, it may be necessary to add the path to the VS2005 link into ifort.cfg, but the associated problem doesn't correspond with the message you report.
