IMSL gives me head- and heartaches

[arreit]

Hi,
My Digital Visual Fortran with IMSL, developed for Windows 98, has been my faithful companion through several Windows generations, including XP. But Vista could not handle it, so I had to invest in the Intel Compiler 11.0 with IMSL. With good help from my supplier I have managed to compile and run programs in Visual Studio, but I still have problems using IMSL. If I try to include \IA32\lib\imsl_dll.lib by using Project > Add existing item I'm told that the \lib folder is empty. Instead I copied the .lib file and included it amongthe source files. The program, which calls an IMSLroutine,then linked successfully. But trying to run it I get an angry message to the effect that the file \Intel64\lib\imsl_dll.dll either is not made for Windows or is corrupted. Why Intel64 is beyond me, as is the whole problem. I am looking for a kind soul who can help this Norwegian retired physics professor on the right track.

Start here. You should not be referencing anything for Intel64 if you are building a 32-bit application. Do not copy .lib files. The setup for IMSL in IVF is different from CVF because of more IMSL options.
