How to switch back to version 9?

I have recently bought and installed Intel Fortran compiler version 10 in my laptop. However I found it is not compatible with the simulation software from ASPEN (using Fortran subroutines and dll). THe designated version compatible is version 9. My question is if I can switch to version 9 without further cost? What is the stepsto achieve that? Thanks.

Register your serial number at https://registrationcenter.intel.com (if you haven't done so). After your registration takes effect, choose among the versions available for download. You could install 9.1 alongside a current version. I would recommend the latest available 9.1 version.

Igot an error when I tried to install V9.1 "W_FC_C_9.1.039.exe" while I already had v10.0.025 installed:

"Setup did not find an "Intel Fortran Compiler for 32-bit based applications" version 8.1 or higher installed. Install the compiler again for "all users". If you continue to see this error contact customer support".

What am I missing?

I think that is coming from the IDE integration install, which would fail anyway. Is the compiler itself installed? if not, try a Custom install and unselect the Visual Studio integration.

Thanks Steve! It was the problem of IDE integration. However if I unselect the Visual studio, the commandline make command "nmake XXX" would not work because the commandline was used to build DLL. I am new to this stuff. Can you suggest what I should do?

The IDE integration has no effect on the command line use. Be sure that you are running the correct ifortvars.bat to establish your command prompt session before running nmake. Use the "Build Environment" shortcut in the Start > Programs > Intel Software Development Products > Intel Fortran Compiler 9.1 menu as an easy way to do this.

Hi Steve, I did use the verion 9.1 build environment as you said. Below is the results I got. Why is the "nmake" not recogonized? Since I have version 10 installed as well, if I do the same thing in 10.0 build environment the "nmake" works fine. I am stuck here. Thanks for your help!

The 9.1 install did not find a supported Visual Studio. Note that Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition will not be recognized. If that's what you have, you'll have to copy the SET and CALL commands from the ifortvars.bat of 10.1 to the 9.1 version to establish the Visual Studio environment.

That solves the problem. Thanks Steve.

However this creates another problem that I don't know how to debug the fortran DLLwithout Visual Studio. Can you help once again? Normally the way to debug is I run Aspen simulation in debug mode, and run Visual studio DLL project attached to Simulation exe. If Visual studio 2005 only has version 10 integrated, it seems impossible to debug using 9.1.

I don't know why that should be. What goes wrong?
