IVF and Visual Studio.net.

[ahasan]

I would like to upgrade from CVF6 to IVF, but I would like to verify that Visual Studio.NET2002/2003 also support win32fortran programs. I read thespecs providedfor IVF, and believe that win32 programs are supported in Visual Studio.NET, but am not totally sure. Thanks for any info.

Yes, absolutely. Intel Fortran uses the VS.NET IDE, but does not create .NET pseudocode. You get native Win32 executables. Don't get confused by the ".NET" in the name. (Note also that you can buy as little as Visual C++.NET Standard Edition for use with Intel Visual Fortran.)

I apologize for asking this, as I know it has been discussed before, but what portions of Visual Studio .NET are needed? Is the IDE needed, or just some libraries? I cannot recall the earlier discussions from 6 or 8 months ago. Thanks for your tolerance of a FAQ.

I forgot to ask in my previous message if IVF works with the Academic version of Visual Studio .NET 2003. Because of some part-time teaching work, I am eligible for the academic version. Thanks.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Yes, the Academic version is fine, as is Visual C++.NET Standard Edition (which typically sells for about $80).

All you need is the "Visual C++" part of VS.NET. When I get back to the office on Monday, so I can check, I'll list the exact minimum components needed - it's a small list.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Sorry for the delay..

Here is how to configure a VS.NET install for the minimum requirements of Intel Visual Fortran:

In the first level, uncheck all boxes except Language Tools.

Under Language Tools, uncheck all boxes except Visual C++.NET

Under Visual C++.NET, uncheck all boxes except Visual C++ Run-Time Libraries

Under Visual C++ Run-Time Libraries, uncheck Visual C++ CRT Source Code
