Fortran Documentation Not Available in VS2008

[kramer__walter]

Hello,

I recently upgraded to Intel Visual Fortran Compiler XE 12.0.5.221 [IA-32] and use VS2008 as IDE under Windows XP SP3 home Edition.
For some reason the Fortran documentation is not available from the Microsoft Document Explorer. I tried repair/reinstall IVF, then repair/reinstall VS2008 and again repair/reinstall IVF and also running RepairVS08Integration.exe. Obviously without the desired result. The integration of the compiler is OK, it is just the documentation that fails.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Walter Kramer

Don't bother with the "repair" tool - that deals only with the integration, not the documentation. Are you using the VS2008 Shell or a separately purchased VS2008?

I am using a separately purchased Standard Edition of VS 2008.

Ok, thanks. I already have an inquiry in to the doc developers on this topic and I'll add yours.

Please open a command prompt and try the following:

1. CD to\help

2. Enter the following commands, in order:

[plain]
H2Reg.exe -r CmdFile=..\Documentation\vshelp\1033\intel.forprodocs\H2Reg_cmd.ini
H2Reg.exe -r CmdFile=..\Documentation\vshelp\1033\intel.fprocompilerdocs\H2Reg_cmd.ini
[/plain]

Let me know if this helps.

Will this effort be of help with my issue (I am utilizing the VS 2008 Shell only)?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

It should. Try it.

[kramer__walter]

Yes, this helps.

Thank you very much.
