Parallelization for Visual Fortran Compiler with Windows 64 bits

[liang09]

I try to set up the parallelization for visual fortran compiler with Windows 64 bits. Go to Project -> properties... -> Configuration properties -> Fortran -> Optimization: choose Yes (/Qparallel) for parallelization. Then I run the code and get the error message: "This application has failed to start because libguide40.dll was not found. Re-installing the applicatin may fix this problem."

The file "libguide40.dll" exists in the folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32.

I do not have this error if I choose No for parallelization. So it seems this error is related to parallelization and the Windows 64 bits.

Any suggestions to solve this problem are very appreciated.

Which version of the compiler are you using? libguide40.dll does not belong in WindowsSystem32 - it should be in the compiler's LIB folder. Also, 11.x versions don't use that DLL at all by default - they use libiomp5md.dll.

This DLL is the parallel processing support for the compiler. When the compiler is installed, PATH should be modified to include the compiler LIB folder where the DLL can be found. libguide40.dll should be removed from the System32 folder.

The version of the compiler is Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Version 9.0
Where is the compiler's LIB folder? I found the DLL files in this folder: C:WINDOWSSysWOW64

Here is the path in my PC:

You told me the Microsoft Visual Studio version. I want to know the Intel Visual Fortran compiler version. It does not look as if you have Intel Visual Fortran installed on this PC.

Now the code is running well with debug mode, but failed with release mode.

My Visual Fortran Compiler is version Version 10.1.029

How does it fail? Version 11.1 is current.
