Intel Fortran v9.1 installation problem

Hello,

I am getting the following error msg when Icompleted installing Fortran:

"ifort: command line error: no files specified"

Any idea what it means? also, is it necessary to have the Visual C++ installed before I attempt to install Fortran for 32-bit applications?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Command line invocation goes like
ifort yourfile.f
The message says you didn't supply yourfile.f.
You should install VC++ first, so that the ifort installation can set up the correct paths for Microsoft link and libraries. If you install VC++ afterwards, the ifort installation can be fixed with a repair selection.

I was installing this to compile other softwareusing Fortran. Previously I used compaq and itdidn't have much prereqs. so it was much easier to install.

Do you by any chance know if I can get a free VC++ download which will work with this version for the time being?

Thanks for your help.

Several options for acquiring the Microsoft components have been discussed on this forum. Most popular lately is VS2005 Express, which supports ifort command line. ifort 10 has an option called PPE which provides integrated Microsoft GUI component support (but no C++).
