I can't install w_cprof_p_11.1.054_intel64 with MS Visual Studio 2010 RC

[egpuckett]

Hi,

I downloaded a trial version of MS Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RC and then tried to run

w_cprof_p_11.1.054_intel64.exe

The installer said that it could not install the Fortran compiler because there were no MS Visual Studio components installed. (This was after I had shut down and rebooted my machine many, many times.)

Here are a few details:

1) I am running on a Lenovo ThinkPad T61p with 4 GB of RAM and 2 (or is it 1 and it just looks like 2 in the device manager?) Intel Core Duo T9500 @ 2.60GHz processors

2) I have just upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit).

The reason I upgraded was due in large part because the version of Vista Ultimate that came with my ThinkPad was 32 bit and I need to run code with larger array sizes than I could with a 32bit memory address space.

I do have a Licensed Version of MS Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition which I have just installed and run the MS upgrade tool on. It is not clear from the packaging whether version of MS Visual Studio 2008 is for a 32bit OS only or if it will also work with a 64 bit OS, once the MS Upgrades have been installed. The Part Number for my copy of Visual Studio is X13-98066-01.

I would just as soon try a beta version of MS Visual Studio 2010, if at all possible. I do realize there is more than one 64 bit beta version, but I do not know which to download.

Finally, I am writing (almost) pure Fortran 77, nothing fancy whatsoever. So I should be able to use any version of Visual Studio 2010 that supports FORTRAN. Is the problem that NO version of Visual Studio 2010 currently supports FORTRAN?

Thanks,

VS2008 (and, presumably, 2010) are 32-bit applications, with the option inside C++ custom configuration to add 64-bit compiler/library/linker (X64 component). It runs fine on win7-64.

The response has been posted just this week on the C++ forum that full support for VS2010 will be provided in Intel compiler releases after VS2010 is released. Chances are you could make ifort work with VS2010 command line by fixing the paths (including making ifortvars.bat call the proper vcvars.bat) after installing.

No version of Intel Visual Fortran currently supports VS2010. We will release an update to support VS2010 as soon as practical after the retail launch of VS2010 in April. This is our standard policy as Microsoft can and does make incompatible changes during the betas of its VS products.

VS2008 Standard Edition will work fine, and it installs the 64-bit support. (The Professional and higher editions require a custom install to get X64 support.)

I regret to say that I misunderstood when we would be adding support for VS2010 to the Intel Visual Fortran product. We will support VS2010 in the next major release of the product, currently planned for late 2010, and not in an update to 11.1. I apologize for any confusion I caused with the incorrect information.

This is a shame because VS2010 to me is a major upgrade. My main reasons for wanting to upgrade now rather than wait 6 months are the parallel do in net code and multiscreen support for editing code.
