Thank you for response my request for trying out your compiler.

I followed your direction download and save the product from https://registrationcenter.intel.com/RegCenter/FileSearch.aspx?SN=xxxxxxxx9&EmailID=vkynyu%40yahoo.com&Sequence=984193 .

At the end of the process I got a meesage from Program Compatibility assistant : This program might not have installed incorrectly.

My Lap Top is a brand new Sony with Window Vista which content: Microsoft Visual Studio2008. It is a 64 bit machine. So that I chose the 282m bits for 64 bit machine.If the file is wrong! which one should I select?

Please direct me to install the compiler .

Many thanks!

Although you have 64-bit hardware, if you are running a 32-bit version of Windows, it runs always in 32-bit mode, and requires the ia32 versions of Intel compilers to build code to run on your laptop. You would need a Windows X64 version (XP64, Vista-64, Windows 7 64-bit) to make use of the Intel64 64-bit compiler.
The IA64 compiler for Itanium would not be useful for running on your laptop.
In Visual Studio, you must install the optional C++ support, and, if using the Intel64 compiler, also the X64 support.
If you have omitted a necessary component of Visual Studio, you can modify your VS installation to correct the omission, then repair the ifort installation.

Please do not post serial numbers in the forum!

As Tim says, you want the download with a name that ends with _intel64.exe. You could also choose the one ending in "_novsshell.exe" since you already have VS2008.

I'm not sure what caused Windows to suggest that the product did not install - did you watch the screens as it went along and did it get to the step where it said it was finished?

Tim is also correct in saying that you have to make sure Visual Studio is configured for 64-bit compilation. Instructions to do that are in the Fortran release notes.
