Linking Error in Visual Studio 2008

[jaeger0]

Since I installed the new compiler I get, each second time I compile the following Error. This is the case for some projects, for some not.

You will receive a more complete response later in the day from one of the Intel people, but here are a couple of items that you may look at.

If you installed the "new compiler", meaning the current one, the version number should be Version 12.0.4.196 Build 20110427 or something similar. There were several releases of Version 11.1 of the Fortran compiler earlier, whereas you are showing Version 11.0.3452. That is about two years old.

The linker is exiting with error code C0000005, which is "access violation".

Based on these symptoms, I suspect that you have a corrupted installation where a mix of old and new tools from different releases are being run, and are failing to work together.

It would help quite a bit if you were to repeat one of these failed runs, and attached the resulting BuildLog.htm file in your response.

mecej4 has some good suggestions. I would suggest at a minimum: Uninstall Intel Fortran, do a "Repair" on Visual Studio 2008 from Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, then reinstall Fortran. Ideally you should install a newer version of the compiler, but the one you have should work with VS2008.
