Error related to MS Shell

[Edward_S_1]

Hello,
I installed Intel Composer 2011 on a new computer and build a Fortran program (that runs fine on a old computer).  I get the error message:

Error 1 fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib\win8\um\arm\Uuid.Lib' LINK

I've tried reinstalling, reviewing settings etc. but nothing helped. How can I fix it?

You have "arm" in that path? And you're using the VS2008 Shell? I can't quite see how that happened, but do this. In Visual Studio, select Tools > Options > Intel Visual Fortran > Compiler (I think that's the path in that version). Select the Win32 tab and next to Libraries click the ... button. Add to the end of the list:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib\win8\um\x86\Uuid.Lib

click OK. Now select the x64 tab, click on ... next to Libraries, and add:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib\win8\um\x64\Uuid.Lib

Click OK, OK.

Sounds as if you installed a Windows 8 SDK and this overwrote some settings.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I still get the error.  It is strange since the path doesn't even exist.  I do have C:\Program files(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\PlatformSDK\LIb\x64\Uuid.lib

Would Linux be easier for setting up the compiler correctly?

Use that path instead. If it still doesn't work, on the General page under Visual Fortran, set the option to "Show environment in log". Do a build, zip the buildlog.htm in the Debug folder and attach it here so I can look to see what it is doing.
