Fortran 2015 version, VS Shell, VS 2013 Express installed

[J__Scott_Berg]

I am trying to install the fortran 2015 version on a Win 7 x64 system that has VS Express 2013 Desktop installed, and ran into a couple problems:

On the initial screen, I see the message 'Microsoft Visual Studio* 2013 does not have C++ "X64 Compiler and Tools," components installed.' VS express 2013 can target x64, but unlike earlier editions, it does not have a native x64 compiler but a ia32 cross-compiler that targets x64, but I would not expect this to create problems; does it?

Then I click through, go to customize, and "Microsoft Visual Studio* 2010 Shell" is greyed out. The message at the bottom states that "Microsoft Visual Studio* 2010 Shell can not be installed because Microsoft Visual Studio* 2010 or 2012 or 2013 is installed or Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 is not installed. I had thought that the 2010 Shell and 2013 Express (or any other Express) would co-exist peacefully; is this not the case?

Thanks.

Uninstall VS2013 Express. Reinstall (or modify) the Fortran install and get VS2010 Shell. Then reinstall VS2013 Express. This is similar to what we have suggested for earlier Express versions.

Thanks Steve, it worked perfectly!
