Our company is upgrading all of our systems to 64-bit on Windows XP with Windows 7 to come later this year. In reading about IVF 11 I have learned I will need to purchase Visual Studio. It also appears that IVF is currently only compatible with VS2005 & VS2008 but the next release of IFV (Nov.2010)will be compatible with VS2010.
I have three questions:
1) Can you confirm my interpretation of the compatiblity issues and expand if I missed anything?
2) I read a statement in an article related to "Migration from CVF" that implied that I need to have the IMSL in order to be compatible with 64-bit. This didn't make sense to me. Could you please confirm if the IMSL is required or not to work on the above describe machine configuration?
3) Any other issues I need to be aware of before I request purchase of IVF 11 and VS 2008?
As with may companies our budgets are extremently tight this year and they do not want to spend money that is not required.
Thanks for your help.

Perhaps a free trial (licence valid for a few weeks) of IVF 11 on a test machine (with the version of W7 that your company is moving to) would serve you better.
As far as IMSL is concerned: if you have the IMSL as part of CVF, that is a 32-bit library with CVF calling conventions. If you do not need IMSL, you can forget about ordering it. IMSL is not needed to compile and run 32-bit or 64-bit applications on W7. If you are content with 32-bit applications calling IMSL routines a decade old, you may continue to use the old IMSL libraries from CVF, linking them to objects compiled by IVF 11.
In summary, if (your applications do not need IMSL .OR. you will use IMSL only to develop 32-bit applications on W7) you do not need to buy IMSL with IVF.

As mecej4 mentions, IMSL is not required to use the Intel Visual Fortran Compiler 11.1 If you decide to try the evaluation version before purchasing, you can find it here.
Your other assumptions about Microsoft Visual 2010 support are true (it will be supported in our next release due out in November).
