Fortran redistributables

[andrew_4619]

Does intel have a tool that checks if a Fortran redistributable package is installed on a system? It would be useful to do that within my installer. 

[Devorah_H_Intel]

set PATH command on Windows should show compiler redist directories.  No separate tool that checks for Runtimes (former redist) that I am aware of.

Thanks Devorah , that clears up that avenue of endeavour!

Soooo many entries in my path and such long names, 60%+ of the path size is Intel!  Anyway having looked at this I think I will look at some of the other ways to solve  my problem.

I wrote a Windows version for you. See attached. Build and run it (you will want to use static library linking). Optionally it can take a command line argument of the minimum file version you want (20, etc.)

[andrew_4619]

Neat Thanks. I built and ran that OK under debug.

The really useful trick is "The name of the file. If a full path is not specified, the function uses the search sequence specified by the LoadLibrary function." which is exactly what is needed!

It occurs to me that I could replace the calls to ExitProcess with ERROR STOP 1,QUIET=.TRUE. (change 1 to the appropriate value). The last ExitProcess with 0 status is strictly not necessary, since that should be the standard exit status.

And, yes, that behavior of GetFileVersionInfo is quite handy here!
