Fortran compile/load

[cullen1]

I have been using Compaq visual fortran for many years and I thought that moving to Intel fortran would be easy - but I can't get it to work at all.

After installing it I ran one of my old Compaq batch files to compile/load a code - it switch from Compaq to Intel and ran ifort -
then I got the message,

ifort: unable to run: Microsft VC++ Dir\Bin

I contacted INtel and they told me but Microsoft C++.NET 2003 - which I did. After installing it and again running ifort I still get the same message.

What am I doing wrong????

I assume that you have typed in some abbreviation of the message. Please contact Intel Premier Support, describe the symptom and give the complete error message. I would suggest also running Intel Information Reporter (from the Fortran Compiler 8.0 program group), clicking Save, then attach the saved text file to your report. This will help support resolve the problem.

I didn't know it when I posted earlier, but I do now. This error comes up when the Fortran install can't find Visual C++.NET on the system. If you install VC++ later, it can't go back and fix things up. See here for how to fix this.
