Intel Visual Fortran compiler integration in microsoft visual studio

[diveshbhatia]

I got a new laptop with Windows 7 and it has a core 2 duo processor (64 bit). I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 on the computer. I can also see that Microsoft Visual Studio 64 bit prerequisites are installed on my computer. I installed Intel Visual Fortran Compiler 9.0, Extended Memory 64 Technology Edition. When I tried to install the Intel Visual Fortran compiler Integrations in Microsoft Visual Studio, I get the following error message: This installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact your product vendor What should I do?

For Windows7 x64 you really need the current version of ifort. Also, it's helpful to assure that all service packs on VS are included. I think you understood that the C++ X64 component of VS is required.

For Windows 7, you really need Visual Studio 2008 and Intel Visual Fortran 11.1. (Most license types of Intel Visual Fortran 11.1 include Visual Studio 2008 Shell, which supplies what you need to build Fortran programs.)
