Force install of VS2005?

[antony]

I have VS 2003 installed, but would like to use IVF with the bundled VS2005 in order to (hopfully) avoid various annoyances in VS 2003. Is there a way to force the installation program to install VS2005 rather than link to my currently installed VS2003 (which I really don't want to uninstall)?

Thanks,
Antony

Yes. Open the folder C:Program FilesIntelDownloadIntelFortranCompiler10.1installs. Run ppe.exe which you will find in that folder. If you have the product on CD, find ppe.exe and run it. Then run w_ide_p_10.1.xxx.exe in that same folder, select uninstall. Run it again and install. These last steps reinstall the Fortran integration.

Thanks, but running ppe.exe gives me a message ".. - ENU not required on this system" and aborts?

Hmm - never saw that one before. Do you already have VS2005 installed?

[antony]

No, but I tried the ppe.exe from the most recent 10.1 update (which I'd saved under c: mp... rather than Program Files) rather than the original one, and that worked OK.
Many thanks.

Ps. now why did technical support takes several days to be totally unhelpful when you could answer the question immediately?!

Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience - this particular question is not one everyone on our team is familiar with. I'll bring this to their attention.

Steve,

Is it posssible to integrate IVF 10.1 with VS 2008 (the whole shebang) without uninstalling VS 2005 and, if so, how is it done?

Thanks

Sure. IVF will integrate with any and all of the supported VS versions it finds on your system. I have 10.1 integrated with VS 2003, 2005 and 2008 on my system. Just make sure you are using 10.1.019 or later. You will need to uninstall and reinstall the integration. I suggest waiting for the next update (which will be 10.1.024) that should be available today or early next week.) Then you can uninstall the old 10.1 (if you want) and install the new one.

I tried to validate the IVF 10.1.024/VS 2008 install by rebuilding the 'C_calls_Fortran' sample. I've attached the buildlogs for the usedll and uselib projects. All seems fine except that they both fail to run because they can't find libifcoremd.dll even though the environment is correct and usedll shouldn't be even looking for it. Is anything odd apparent in the logs?

Thanks,

Gerry

I'm not sure why you say that usedll shouldn't be looking for libifcoremd.dll - I'd expect it to. Your system PATH environment variable ought to contain %IFORT_COMPILER10%IA32LIB or something like that. If it doesn't, add it. In any case, it would be the build of the Fortran project that was interesting. I do note that USELIB builds the C code with /MD which wants the MSVC DLLs.
