Besides the problem of premier.intel.com not working while a forum browser session is open, I agree with you, I see only the notes associated with 8.1 and 9.0 updates.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

I see w_fc_p_9.1.024_RN.zip in the Premier list, which is the release notes. The README is not yet available.

I've had other customers report the conflict between the forum and Premier, though it doesn't give me a problem. I have asked both site support teams to investigate.

Ah- now I see where files come from! I found the README, thanks.

Hi,

I have been trying to install the IVF 9.1, and it seems that I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is. Before installing it, I removed the VS integration and uninstalled the IVF 9.0.30 (including the debugger).

During the installation of the IVF 9.1, when it launches the setup for the VS integration (after installing both the compiler and the debugger), an error dialog states that an IVF compiler must be installed in order to perform the integration.

After that I proceeded to uninstall IVF 9.1 and re-installed the 9.0.30 and everything went OK (running, debugging, compiling, etc.) Then I removed just the VS integration, without uninstaling the IVF 9.0 compiler, and proceeded to install the IVF 9.1 compiler. The error dialog didn't appear during the VS integration, but when I open the VS, IVF is not integrated (although the integration is included in the list of currently installed programs at the control panel).

Finally, I uninstalled both IVF versions, reinstalled the VS and tried everything again, with the same results.

Now, what am I doing wrong?

My OS is WinXP and the IDE is VS2003.

Jwm,

I had this exact same problem, see this post of mine here in the C++ forum:http://softwareforums.intel.com/ids/board/message?board.id=16&message.id=4032#M4032

This is apparently a registry problem. Some part of the install is looking for keys under the HKLM branch while other parts write only to HKCU. By copying the relevant "trees" of keys under HKCU to HKLM I was able to get it working.

I uninstalled 9.0 completely before I did the work around just to make sure there was no interference between versions, but I left 8.x alone and the integration appears to see that fine.

Hi again,

By copying the string values from HKEY_CURRENT_USER to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, as suggested by Richard, the setup dialog for the VS integration now shows actual optionsunder Custom Install, and the integration is complete.

Thanks.

John.

So I'm having problems with the new IVF 9.1 compiler, i'm running it on win 2k3 server x64 and I am trying to integrgate it to VS 2005 december 2005 release, now the IA32 IVF compiler integrates just fine, but I cannot seem to make a target build for EM64T, anyone managed to build 64 bit via vs 2005? If so how did you get VS to recognize the 64 bit compiler?

Appreciate The help

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Read the Building Applications manual section on selecting a target configuration. The procedure is not obvious. Note that if you have VS2005 Professional Edition or higher, you have to do a custom install of VS and ask for the x64 libraries. This is called out in the Fortran installation guide. Oddly, this is not required if you use VS2005 Standard Edition!

[Steven_L_Intel1]

The following message applies to users of the Standard Edition of Intel Visual Fortran.

Due to an error on our FTP website for the Intel Visual Fortran Compiler for Windows*, it is possible you downloaded the following incorrect "Professional Edition" self-extracting installation .exe:

w_fcp_p_9.1.024.exe

If you hold a Standard Edition product license, and your attempts to install this 9.1 compiler produce error messages for "invalid serial number" or "invalid license", the most likely cause is you have an incorrect version of the compiler. Please check whether the name of your download file includes letters "fcp"; if so, you have downloaded an incompatible version of the compiler for your product license. This version will only install for license holders of the "Professional Edition" of the compiler.

To successfully install the 9.1 compiler, you need to download and install the following "Standard Edition" self-extracting installation .exe:

w_fc_p_9.1.024.exe

Please note the "fc" instead of the "fcp" in the file name.

You may download the correct version from Premier Support, or from the corrected FTP website for the Intel Visual Fortran Compiler for Windows*:

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Sorry, we won't be able to provide the usual README.txt for the 9.1 product release. The automated mechanism we use to construct this is broken at present and it seems that some of the correlation data has been lost. We're working to fix this process for the future and apologize for the inconvenience.

[jaime_a_vargas]

Worked like a charm, thanks a bunch!

j.v.

I received the email message about the "invalid serial number" error message if you attempt to install professional if your license is for standard, and I had received the error message when I attempted to install the professional version I downloaded. The thing is... I have a license for the professional version! I ended up solving the problem by using the "manual license file installation" method.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

You can get this problem if you try to install the Professional edition when you still have a valid evaluation license on the system.

[greybird]

I don't believe that I ever installed the evaluation version on that machine. Even so, it had the V 9.0 of professional previously installed. It didn't make sense to me since I hadn't deleted the license file when I uninstalled V 9.0 before trying to install 9.1 professional. It just wouldn't accept the typed serial number.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

If you were using a serial number obtained for version 9.0, that would indeed not be accepted. The expectation is that you had a license file on the system already. If not, then you did the right thing by getting the license file and installing it manually.

[greybird]

Well, that all makes sense then. I didn't realize the number was keyed to 9.0 specifically and thought that it would work with 9.1 as well. Live and learn!

[Steven_L_Intel1]

The install should have "recommended" that you use the existing license, if it found it. I agree it is confusing if you are installing on a new system and the serial number does not work.

[alan_woodley]

If I upgrade from Fortran 9.0 Standard directly to Fortran 9.1.025 Standard will I also have to upgrade from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual Studio 2005?

[Jugoslav_Dujic]

No, 9.1 works fine with VS 2003.

[onkelhotte]

Is it true that VS2005 is extremly slow compared to VS2003?
