Solved: Intel Parallel Studio XE 2015 and Visual Studio 2013, from scratch

Massimiliano_Z_ · ‎11-19-2014

Dear all,

sorry if this has been already handled. I have a problem with Intel Fortran Composer XE 2015, Visual Studio 2013 and Windows7.

I was a happy user of Compaq Visual Fortran untli our organization decided to remove Windows XP

I now badly need a replacement environement and want to buy the Fortran Composer XE 2015, buy the needed components of a supported Visual Studio version (no need for the msdn stuff).

Now i tested quite a lot and was able to run the trial version of the intel fortran compiler (w_fcompxe_2015.0.108.exe), as integrated in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. For this last I can't find a way to buy a key.

Is there any simple link explaining me which software I need to download and install in which order to finally my Fortran applications with GUI? I tried the isolated shell, but I was then not able to integrate the intel fortran.

Thanks in advance

You can't buy Visual Studio 2010 anymore, but you shouldn't need to do this. Uninstall Fortran and whatever VS trial version you used. Then reinstall Fortran with your purchased serial number (not as a trial). This will install the bundled VS Shell. Or, you could install the free VS2013 Community Edition from Microsoft, which some users have said works for them. We're still evaluating this. Then reinstall Intel Fortran.

Thanks,

I got now a license key. I will try and give feedback. I was expecting something like this, but I was also thinking that the VS-Components would also install in the trial version.

Cheers from Switzerland!

After one month of testing the "Community Version" I had to buy the VS 2013 professional for about 700 Swiss Francs, (~800 USD).

The regular price in the US is 499 $ ..... explanations for this difference do no belong here.

Anyway, now seems that everything is fine with my applications.

Thanks for the support concerning you fortran compiler
