Installing IVF8

[guy_halliburton]

Hi,

I've installed IVF8, but now what. When I go to "New Project" under "Project Types" I don't get a "Intel Fortran Projects" option. It's registered with the .lic file installed. Am I missing some vital step?

I can't use premier support as our IT is away and Intel insist on only one point of contact for our organisation (700 staff -everyone else is still using CVF).

Guy.

Is VC.NET installed on a partition other than the one Windows boots from? If so, this is a known install issue which will be fixed in a future update.

I have attached a ZIP file which contains a fix for this - a program you run after you have installed Visual Fortran - it corrects the IDE integration issues. Also included is a program to be run before you uninstall (which you would need to do before installing a new version), so that the old version uninstalls cleanly. A readme.txt is included.

If this situation applies to you, please try this out and let me know how it works for you.

Steve, thanks - that fixed the problem.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Glad to hear it. Remember to hold on to the zip file and run the "PreUninstallIfort" program before you uninstall in the future.

Steve,

I had the same problem. FixupIFort fixed it, however, I don't have a Fortran help collection in VS .NET. Is there an easy way of registering the help collection?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

There isn't one. The Fortran help is a set of separate PDF and CHM files. We encountered a lot of issues with integrating into the VS.NET help and dropped the idea for 8.0. It is being revisited for a future release.

for me this doesn't work- last line of the fixup....exe says
"vfproject.dll" not found

The problem described in this thread, and the fix, are no longer applicable. What problem are you having?

[krebskasper]

i installed, visual studio 2003 .net
then i installed the windows platform sdk
afterwards i installed the fortran compiler, that i just downloaded and i expected to be able to create a new fortran project within the visual studio, but there was nothing - then i saw the fix here applied it but it did not work.

edit:
it's the standard evaluation version, to test if things work out

When you installed Intel Fortran, did it complain that it could not find Visual Studio.NET or Visual C++.NET? What was the full name of the file you downloaded from Intel?

When you start Visual Studio, does it include a blue F logo for Intel Fortran in the splash screen? Is Intel Fortran listed in Help..About? Is your Visual Studio.NET a retail version from Microsoft and not an environment bundled with some other compiler?
