VS 2005 & Intel Fortran Compiler 9.0 errors

postaquestion

I am trying to install Intel Fortran 9.0. I have Visual Studio 2005 standard edition installed.

I ran the Intel Fortran installation of the compiler and then the part of the install process that links Visual Studio to the Fortran Complier. All went well with no errors. I started Visual Studio and I don't see the new Fortran projects in the new projects window of VS 2005.

My attemps to rectify this:

I ran the "Build Environment for IA-32 applications" script, which gave the error "cannot find the specified path". The ifortvars.bat gave this error because it couldn't find the Vcvars32.bat. So I copied my Visual Studio copy into the bin directory and got the ifortvars.bat script to call the local Vcvars32.bat copy. The error went away and the environmental variable got set for Visual Studio and Fortran.

However VS 2005still isn't linked to the compilerand I can't start a new Fortran project as per the Fortran documentation.

Please help!

"as per the Fortran documentation," ifort 9.1 was the first version to support VS2005. You may be able to patch up your combination for command line operation, but it would be worth while to upgrade ifort.

Actually I upgraded to 10.26 and that resolved the issue. You really should have some better support on this issue I see several threads where people have the same problem, and not one of them details a solution.

What threads are those? All the ones I have seen have stated that 9.1 is the earliest version to support VS2005. The System Requirements for 9.0 say VS.NET 2002 and VS.NET 2003 only. 9.0 hasn't been sold for more than a year now.

If there's something we can do better, please let us know. However, please keep in mind that this is primarily a user forum and not formal support. Technical support from Intel is provided by Intel Premier Support - see here for more information.
