Great! I purchased Parallel Studio XE 18 with IMSL (Composer edition). Now I am having problems setting up IMSL with the included VS 2015 shell. I did everything exactly as described in here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/installing-and-using-the-imsl-libraries. However, when I compile my code, I get an error message telling me that "error #7002: Error in opening the compiled module file.  Check INCLUDE paths."

Of course, I went back to the installation description and think that I did everything I was told to do. Any idea what else could be the cause of this? My code worked just fine using Fortran 11.1.

Thanks!
