Fortran requirements

We are interested in the Fortran compiler and a bit confused as to what Visual software we need. Does the MS Visual Studio 2005 not contain the C++ component? Thanks.

MS Visual Studio 2005 includes C++ plus many other things. The part of the System Requirements mentioning the C++ component is saying that you have to select at least that component in order to support Intel Fortran. For example, it will not do to install the Visual Basic component only.

If you take the default install of Visual Studio, then you'll get everything you need. (But if you want to use the 64-bit compiler, see the note in the compiler Installation Guide about selecting the "x64 Tools" component which is not a default in some editions.

Does this help?
