Visual Studio Does Not Recognize Intel Fortran Compilers

[Miao_L_]

Hello, Dear Folks

I am fairly new to programming in Windows (used to be working on Unix/Linux), I am trying to let Visual Studio work with Intel Fortran but haven't been successful, my Visual Studio professional 2012 was preinstalled then afterwards Intel Fortran Compiler was installed.  But for some reason the VS doesn't recognize the Fortran at all.

When opening up a .sln file, "unsupported" is the message given, then it says this project isn't supported in the version of Visual Studio.  So I wonder if any has experienced such a experience before?

So many thanks in advance!

Please read I can't create Fortran projects or see any Fortran support in Visual Studio and see if the tips there help. You didn't say which version of Intel Fortran you installed.

Hello,

First of all, it is important to tell us which version of Windows (XP, 7, 8) you are using and the versions of Visual Studio (VS) and Fortran.

With any VS, you click on Help and About Visual Studio and get a display of what is installed, versions and updates. There should be a Copy Info button to click on. You can paste that info into a text editot like NotePad.  Excerpts from my current setup:

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2013
Version 12.0.21005.1 REL
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.5.50938

Installed Version: Professional

Intel(R) Visual Fortran     Package ID: w_fcompxe_2013_sp1.4.237
Intel(R) Visual Fortran Composer XE 2013 SP1 Update 4 Integration for Microsoft Visual Studio* 2013, 14.0.0100.12, Copyright (C) 2002-2014 Intel Corporation
 

Please Paste your info into your next comment on this thread. It will help us help you!

If you do not see any mention of Intel Fortran, it is time to do a Repair or Modify but you will have to Exit Visual Studio first.  You need to find the Setup file for your Intel Fortran (mine is under folder c:\Program Files\Intel\Composer XE 2013 SP1\setup_4_237) and you will need Admin Rights to perform the Modify/Repair.  Basically, Modify will allow you to find Visual Studio (I have 3 versions now) to connect with.

Good Luck!
