No, if you install on one of the supported versions of Visual Studio, the ifort installer should automatically set up the path to the VS link.exe. If not a supported version of VS, you may have to specify the path in ifort.cfg in the compiler installation (or specify /Qlocation every time in your command line switches)
(following is for VS2008, for which it would be taken care of by the installer):
C:\Program Files\Intel\Compiler\11.1\060\bin\ia32\ifort.cfg
# This Configuration file may be used for additional switches
-Qlocation,link,"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin"
-assume:minus0,protect_parens,buffered_io,byterecl
-Qprec-div -Qprec-sqrt

I don't recommend editing ifort.cfg for this. Which version of VS do you have installed? In VS, please do Help > About, click Copy Info, and paste the result into a reply here.

What was the name of the Fortran installer file you downloaded?
