Dear all:

I have a problem when installing Intel Fortran in Visual Studio 2008 using 64bit. The situation is as follows

The OS is 64bit-Win7.

First, I installed visual studio 2008. And then I installed Intel Fortran compiler, which I have is w_fc_p_10.1.024_intel64.exe.

However, when I compile my code in Visual Studio 2008, I got error: Not found ifor.

Could you please help me?

Thank you in advance.

This seems unrelated to the preceding thread, so your question may be missed.
Was that the first ifort version which supported Windows 7? I don't remember.
Did you start up Visual Studio by the shortcut which should have been installed on the Start menu under Intel Software Development Tools?

Dear TimP:
I am sorry for a question which is not related to the topic. Coudl I open a new topic for this?

I started up Visual studio by its own shortcut. And then I open my Fortran project to complile. This is way I usually use for 32bit-OS.

Do you mean that I have to install Visual studio shortcut under Intel Software Development Tools? If yes, please show me how can I do it?

Thank you.

My guess is that you did not install the x64 support for Visual Studio. For VS2008 and 2005, it does not install by default. This is covered in the Fortran release notes, which are always worth reading. The steps you need to take are these:

If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005* or 2008 and will be developing 64-bit applications
(for the Intel 64 architecture) you may need to change the configuration of Visual Studio to add
64-bit support.
If you are using Visual Studio 2005/2008 Standard Edition or Visual Studio 2008 Shell, no
configuration is needed to build Intel 64 architecture applications. For other editions:
1. From Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, select Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
(or 2008) > Change/Remove. The Visual Studio Maintenance Mode window will appear.
Click Next.
2. Click Add or Remove Features
3. Under Select features to install, expand Language Tools > Visual C++
4. If the box X64 Compiler and Tools is not checked, check it, then click Update. If the
box is already checked, click Cancel.
This step is not required when using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.

Dear Steve:
Many thanks. Owing to your instructions, I managed to solve my problem by adding 64-bit support in MS VS2008
