Re: Installation problem

wkramer · ‎09-18-2004

I recently had a slave harddisk crash. Both Visual C++.net 2003 and Intel Visual Fortran where installed on that drive. After installing a new drive I tried to reinstall both packages but after installation both packages come up with the message: "Intel Fortran Project Package" has failed to load properly (GUID = {b68A201D - 47AF - A52F - 7EEC72E217E4}) contact package vendor for assistance. I then get asked whether I want to disable loading the package or not.

(I found out that it makes no difference whether I disable loading the package or not)

I then uninstalled both packages again and retried, but with the same result.

From within Visual C++ .NET environment I get messages that "Intel Fortran Tool Options Package" has failed to load properly when trying to navigate to the options menu entry.

Apparently one of the two packages (or both) fails to clean up the registry properly during uninstall.

Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem? Before the crash everything functioned OK.

I am trying to install the 8.1 standard versionfor windows.

Thanks,

Walter Kramer

Here is what I suggest.

1. Uninstall IVF and VS.NET
2. Delete the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudio7.1
3. Delete the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudio7.1
4. Reboot
5. Install VS.NET 2003
6. Install IVF

Hello Steve,

This indeed solved the error message problem. However, for some strange reason IVF no longer integrates into the development environment.

There are no references to Intel Fortran package anymore in the registry for VisualStudio7.1 (I did follow the correct sequence. First VisualStudio followed by IVF instalation).

This really starts to get annoying. I have installed Visual C++ 20033 times now (which takes considerable time) and IVF 8.1 four or 5 times.

It is hard to understand how it can be so complex to add or edit some fields in the registry during installation (which seems to be the problem here)

On which disk have you installed VS and tried to install IF8? If it's a problem of an installation on "not-C-Disk" look on http://softwareforums.intel.com/ids/board/message?board.id=5&message.id=10586

Thanks Hans,

IVF seems indeed to think that VS.NET can only be installed at one fixed location.

The method you suggest corrects this.
