Visual Fortran 110 and VS2008 Integration

[John_Young]

Hi,

I have had Visual Studio 2008 and Intel Visual Fortran 11.0.074 working together under Windows Vista very nicely for more than a year. Yesterday, I downloaded the evaluation version of Intel Cluster Tools and installed it. Then I immediately started getting

"XX.vfproj cannot be opened because its project type (.vfproj) is not supportede by this version of Visual Studio errors"

I have tried uninstalling the cluster tools, uninstalling/reinstalling visual fortran, uninstalling reinstalling visual studio + visual fortran and I cannot get the error to go away. I made sure to delete the IntelFortran subdirectory under the VisualStudio program directory each time. I have also tried RepairVS08Integration script located elsewhere on this sit to no avail, although the repair script itself seems to run properly and report success.

I suppose that there is some cruft somewhere that is messing things up that is not being removed when I uninstall/reinstall the software. Is there anything else I can try to solve this?

Thanks,
John

Well, this is puzzling, and you've done all the things I would have recommended. Please do the following to provide more information. Firat, in Visual Studio, click Help > About. Click "Copy info" and then paste the results into a reply here. Second, please grab a screenshot of the error message and attach it, or give us all the text in the error message.

In case you may be running the VS2008 shell which comes with ifort, that doesn't support the Intel C++ which comes with Intel Cluster Toolkit compiler edition for Windows. That doesn't appear to be implied by what you said you were running.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

I would not expect installation of Cluster Toolkit (which, unless you install the "Compiler Edition" doesn't include compilers) to disable recognition of Fortran projects. It sounds as if something is preventing the Fortran integration from loading.

Below is the output of About. I do not see fortran as being installed, although the Fortran installation proceeded with no errors. The IntelFortran directory is being created in the Visual Studio program directory. Also attached is a screenshot of the error. The directory structure in the error in the screenshort seems to indicate VS2005, but this is really VS2008.

Also I did Intel VTune installed (but no longer). When I had VTune installed, the vtune integration into 2008 did not work properly. I just mention this in case that problem might have some relation to this one. However, VTune was removed before I did all the deinstallation/reinstallation attempts.

Thanks,
John

I am not using the VS2008 shell. It is the full VS2008 edition.

Thanks - I wonder what is preventing the Fortran integration from registering. Please exit VS, run the repair tool again and post the oiutput.

[John_Young]

Here is theAbout after running the repair tool. Also, I attached a screenshot of the repair tool output.

Thanks,

Everything seems in order there. I will have to ask our IDE integration developers if they have any ideas.

[John_Young]

Hi Steve,

I was wondering if you had heard any new ideas concerning this problem?

Thanks,
John

[Steven_L_Intel1]

No, sorry. When I do I will let you know.

The only thing I can suggest for now is to uninstall both Fortran and VS, delete the Visual Studio 9.0 folder AND delete the Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0 registry tree under both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Then reinstall VS and Fortran.

[John_Young]

Thanks. I will try deleting the registry entries as well.

John

[John_Young]

Deleting the visual studio registry trees and reinstalling did the trick. I guess something in the registry was mesed up. Thanks for all your help.

Glad to hear it!
