SYSTEM: OS WIN XP SP3+VS2005+VS2008 probleme install IVF 9.0 - Missing pre-requisite???

[ratel__gilles]

I have PC with
- Windows XP (SP3) - 32 bit system (withEM64T)
- Visual Studio 2005 (+ VS SP1)
- Visual Studio 2008

I know IVF 9.0 is ok with VS2005 because long time agro I use IVF 9.0 (and upgrade IVF 9.1)
But, At this this I have only VS2005 on my system

Now, If I install IVF 9.0 :
Intel Visual fortran Compiler for 32 bit and Itanium- based application Install only on IA-32 system

I get error message:
Missing Pre-requisite
Microsoft Visual C++ not found

Microsoft C++.NET 2002 or 2003 is required to install the Intel Visual Fortran Compiler for 32 bit applications. Select form the following options(s):
[ ] Continue installing
Since this product requires some important components (linker) of Microsoft
Visual C++, command line support will not function if you contine installing.

[ ] Do not Install the Intel Visual Fortran Compiler for 32-bit applications

What is the problem???

IVF 9.0 never supported VS2005. 9.1 was required for that.

I not understand why I have this error message.
Evidently I have MS C++ if I have VS 2005 ...
I install IVF directly from original CD.

But yes, I remember... I have purchase a Intel "Visual" Fortran 9.0 ... not really _visual_... only a DOS prompt compiler.
And also, with Array Visualizer out of support.
Not comparable to CVF - a real "visual" environment.

Anyway, I install directly with package W_FC_C_9.1.033.exe
Good.
I look VS 2005. Possible create IVF project.
Good.


Last comment:
=> very stupid: this IVF 9.1 is not compatible with VS 2008 (WHY NOT!)
a very bad marketing
I nerver _purchase_ IVF 10
[ _purchase_ because"upgrade" is not a good concept for Intel, just a one year support ...
I prefer wait a real F2003 support ... and hope with next VS Studio 2009 ]

Development of ifort 9.1 and 10.0 ended before a stable interface was announced for VS2008. Each major update of MSVC involves incompatible changes in libraries and C++ headers, which are impossible to foresee. Recent updates of 10.1 (not the original 10.1 release) are required for full compatibility with VS2008 (full version, not VS2008 express, where there is only limited 32-bit compatibility with ifort). With ifort 10.1, you also have the PPE option, so that ifort can run independent of VS, with a subset of VS2005 capability.

Intel Visual Fortran 10.0 and later includes Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition, meaning that there is nothing else to buy. Versions earlier than that did require that you purchase Microsoft Visual Studio or Visual C++.

Version 9.0 was released about nine months before Visual Studio 2005 was released. Version 9.1 supports Visual Studio 2005. Visual Studio 2008 was released in February 2008, and version 10.1.019 or later supports that. Microsoft made significant changes to the IDE interfaces in each new version of Visual Studio, requiring extensive recoding and testing on our part.

The version of the compiler you have is three years old. It should not be a surprise that it does not support Microsoft software released only in the past few months. (It doesn't support Windows Vista either.)
