Getting rid of older versions of IVF in VS environment

Hi,

I have been installing new versions of IVF compiler as they become available. Since I don't have any substantial Fortran projects that use older versions I have been uninstalling them (through Start/Settings/Control Panel/Add or Remove programs) before I install the latest compiler version. In VS2005 however, the uninstalled versions are still listed as choices of IVF compiler under Tools/Options/Intel Fortran. Needless to say, I get an error when I choose one these older versions for compilation.

Can somebody tell me how to avoid the uninstalled IVF compilers to be listed in the VS2005 environment?

Thanks,
Jon

Uninstalling should do it. If not, then look in regedit under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREIntelCompilersFortran and delete the old version keys.

Steve,

I have also reported a related uninstall problem -- the PATH statement retains the folders for the old versions. I believe this has been replicated by your people. Manual changes to PATH may be required in the interim.

I can believe that - the way environment variables get updated by installers (of any kind) is fragile. I think version 10 tends to put less in PATH than earlier versions did - just enough to let you run programs linked against IVF DLLs.
