Using VS 2005 and Vis Fortran 11.0 in debug configuration

[gamoses]

I can successfully run my fortran program in VS 2005 in Release mode using Start Without Debugging, but in Debug mode when I use Start Debugging I get an error that I cannot execute because either the working directory or the path name to the working directory is in error. I have set the working directory for both the release and the debug modes in the same way, using Properties. What am I missing?

The most likely cause is fumbled fingers in setting these fields, to be honest.

To confirm, open the Property Page, and select Configuration Properties -> Debugging.

In the upper left hand corner of that dialog box is a selection for "Configuration:".

You can use "All Configurations" to assure that you set the same value for all configurations.

Does that work for you?

Hi Lorri, Did just as you said and got the same error. I've attached a screenshot pasted into Word. Many thanks for your response. This really has me stumped. I started years ago with the DEC compiler, which then became the Compaq compiler, which then became the HP compiler which is now the Intel compiler. I am on my second or third version of the Intel Fortran compiler running with VS. Have never had this problem before. ...Greg

Please attach the .vfproj file from your project.

Hi Steve, I attached a vfproj file. I hope it is what you need. Also I installed the same VS 2005 and Intel Fortran on my desktop running XP and it works as expected. My laptop, where I get the unexpected result is running Vista if that is any help. ...Greg

Interesting. I don't see anything amiss in the project file.

What is the path to your project? It isn't under C:\Program Files, is it? What happens if you copy the entire solution folder to your desktop and open it from there?

One last file to look at please - in the same directory as bucky_hdf2.vfproj, you should onenamed something very similar to:

bucky_hdf2.vfproj.gamoses.user

If you type that file, it will show some configuration "stuff". Do the DebugSettings look the same for both Debug and Release configurations?

This is interesting...there are two files with this name format. I don't think there should be two. I am a pretty naive user, so I have only the simplest thing going here.

First file name: bucky_hdf2.vfproj.Greg Moses.user 7/15/2009

Contents:

Second file name: bucky_hdf2.vfproj.moses.user 1/22/2010

Contents:

The first file has references to working directory that is very old and is not what I am currently doing. The file date is also very old. The second file has the correct path name to my working directory, but release and debug are not the same.

Delete both of them.
