Problem Installing Visual Fortran 11.1

[Liaqat]

I need Intel Fortran 11.1 for compiling a software. To find out if I could follow the procedure described by the vendor, I installed evaluation version of a) Microsoft Visual Developer Studio 2008, and b) Intel Visual Fortran 11.1. To get professional version of Fortran 11.1, I purchased Intel Visual Composer 2013 for Windows and installed it on my computer after uninstalling the evaluation version of Fortran 11.1 but not the Visual Studio 2008. Once the date for using evaluation version of Visual Studio expired, I uninstalled Visual Studio 2008 and Intel Visual Composer 2013.

After resolving some downloading issues, last week I downloaded “w_cprof_p_11.1.072.exe” and installed it on my computer (64-bit Windows 7 operating system). Using Visual Studio, I opened a Main Program Code (Console Application), as shown in Page 1 of the enclosure. The configuration manager shows “Win32” as shown Page 2 of the enclosure. It does not let me select 64-bit version.

Ignoring all these, if I try to compile, I get the error message shown in Page 3: “Configuration ‘Release|Win32’ requires compiler support for the ‘Win32’ platform, but that support is not installed. Please either install the compiler support for ‘Win32” or select another configuration. I have not been able to find out how to select another configuration. I will appreciate if you could give me instructions for selecting 64-bit complier configuration and resolve the compilation/configuration issues.

Also - where would I download w_cprof_p_11.1.072_intel64.exe (I think that's the one I want) or w_cprof_p_11.1.072.exe?

Thanks again...

OK. I figured out how to get to the registration center and afte renteing my serial number it says that my license has expired (not surprising) but that I will have to purchase a renewal license (which will be back dated to 09 Feb 2011) in order to download it.

Is this the only way to get this file? I also tried to generate an unlock code should I get the package and that also says my license is expired and will not give me an unlock code.

Is that the answer, or can I just get a several year old update t my software to see if I can use 64-bit compilers? Or does anyone have an idea fo a fix with the disc I have?

Thanks...

[Huang__Merrick]

OK. Sorry. I guess I should have gone further. I finally decided to install as is and worry about 64-bit operation later. What I found is that the installer distinguished between IA-64 and Intel x64 and is installer the latte because that's what I have. The new problem is that it can't see VS2012 but wants to install the VS2008 Shell and integrate to that. I assume I'm pretty much stuck doing that and repairing the whole thing later. Can anyone point to instructions on how to get this integrated into VS2012 after installation?

Thanks.

If your license expired prior to the release of vs2012 support you will not be able to download an ifort which recognizes vs2012. If your license expired over 2 years ago renewal might cost more than a new purchase.

Tim is correct that the version you are licensed for doesn't support VS2012.For renewal information, see http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/renewal-period-start/ but if 11.0 is the latest you are eligible for, you won't qualify for renewal pricing.

"IA-64" is for servers with Intel Itanium processors. Version 11.1 was the last version to support that line. In most cases you want "Intel 64" (also known as "x64").

Thanks all.

I know it's the wrong place to ask, but I went ahead and installed with the VS2008 shell and I'm getting some odd compile errors with what should be working code (is was working when last checked into the repository).

THe compiler seems to be hanging up on "class" no matter where or how it finds it. So, for instance, there is a variable named class_dist. Anywhere this variable is used the compiler generates an #5082 syntax error, found IDENTIFIER '_DIST' when expecting...

That happens repeatedly in the same or similar fashion. As another example, there is a variable "classify" and the error is identified as the keyword 'IF' as opposed to 'IFY' because once the compiler finds class it appears to be parsing that line for any other keywords it can find.

I suspect this might be an IDE error as opposed to a compiler error. I'm sure it's a setting somewhere, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. As I said, if you can point me to the right place to ask his question I'd appreciate it, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks again.

Merrick, that sort of thing is a compiler issue, never an IDE issue. I know we have found and fixed similar issues in the past, so I'd encourage you to try a more recent compiler. I see in our records that we fixed a problem like this in 11.1

As for the place to ask, this forum is fine, but please start a new thread rather than tacking on to an existing thread unless you're convinced it's the identical issue. This makes it easier for others to find questions of interest to them.

[Huang__Merrick]

Steve, thanks. I have 11.1.048 (on the disk) but couldn't get the update because the license is expired. A person working on the project before me did generate unlock codes for at least two updates one of which is 11.1.060, but I have not been able to find the downloaded code.

Actually, we have two brand new server licenses but out IT folks haven't been able to install them yet, so I'm just trying to familiaize myself with the code as much as I can until those licenses are available.

Thanks again...

See Tim's response in your other thread.
