Integration of 9.1 with Visual studio 2005

[Nigel_Thomas]

I've been developing with VS 2005/IVF 11.1 but i need to produce a version with VC2005/IVF 9.1, but I can't get it to integrate with Visual Studio 2005. Should this work?

I tried first just installing 9.1 alongside 11.1, expecting to be able to choose compiler in Tools-options, but just showed 11.1. Then tried uninstalling 11.1 but then had no fortran integration, then tried a repair on the 9.1 integration setup but still no go. Is there some trick to it? do i need to install the fortran first or something?

Suggestions appreciated

Thanks

There isn't a supported way of having both 9.1 and 11.1 in the same VS environment.

Uninstall the 11.1 VS integration (or all of 11.1). Delete the Microsoft Visual Studio 8Intel Fortran folder if it exists. Install 9.1.

Now you'll have 9.1 in VS, but not 11.1. If you also want to use 11.1, you might consider uninstalling VS2005, installing the full 11.1 with VS2008 Shell, reinstalling VS2005 and then 9.1.

A hack that might work. Install 9.1 as a Custom install with the compiler only. In VS (with 11.1 installed), go to Tools > Options > Intel Visual Fortran. You may have multiple update versions of 11.1 listed - pick one you don't want to use anymore and change the Executable, Libraries and Includes paths to point to the 9.1 folders. Now select that old version when you want to use 9.1. Be careful with the options you select, as 9.1 doesn't recognize some of the newer ones.

Steve,

Thanks for the reply. I've got it integrated now with just 9.1. I think deleting the Visual Studio 8Intel fortran folder was the bit I was missing. I've using a VM for this build so it's no problem just having 9.1.

Thanks again
