VS2005: "Package load failure" for Intel Fortran 11.1

[nskvirsky]

I am using VS2005 on Windows 7. After uninstalling my old Intel Fortran 9.1 and installing Intel Fortran 11.1 I got the Package load failure error. I found a thread on this topic,

http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/showthread.php?t=62128&wapkw=(Intel+64+and+IA-32+Architectures+Software+Developer)

but uninstalling the Fortran compiler, repairing VS2005 and reinstalling Fortran did not work. Uninstalling both Fortran and VS2005, running CCleaner, rebooting,and then reinstalling VS2005, VS2005 SP1, and Fortran did not work, either. At this point I have run out of options. The link to the attachedRepairVS05Integration.zip is invalid. Where can I find and download this .zip?

Everything's been consolidated into this Troubleshooting Visual Studio Integration article.

What is the exact and complete error message?

Steve,

The complete error message is

Package Load Failure

Package 'Intel Fortran Project Package' has failed to load properly ( GUID = {B68A201D-CB9B-47AF-A52F-7EEC72E217E4} ).Please contact package vendor for assistance.Application restart is recommended, due to possible environment corruption. Would you like to disable loading this package in the future? You may use 'devenv /resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading.

Thank you for the link to the troubleshooting resource, I hope that helps me resolve the problem.

When installing VS2005 + Fortran on my Windows 7 I had to follow these steps in order to get it to work:

1) Install VS2005
2) Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1
(http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5553)
3) Install Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista
(http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=7524)
4) Install IF 11.1 (release 048 ou later). My 11.1.038 could not install. 11.1.070 is working fine.
