Visual Studio requirement details

Unfortunately Intel Fortran 8 requires Visual Studio .NET 2000 or higher. Is it posible to install it with the free Visual Studio .NET 2003 toolkit? Even without an IDE, that would make it quite cheaper.

You may not have much luck with this if you aren't willing to take advantage of the previous posts on this forum. You don't get all the functionality, but I do find the Toolkit installation useful. The Toolkit doesn't conform to Microsoft's touted direction of being capable of installation on all newer versions of Windows, and supports no .dll capability.

It's not a Visual Studio.NET toolkit, it's a Visual C++.NET Toolkit. See here.

Thanks for the information. So I see that the it is posible to write Fortran applications, but with some limitations.

I suppose that there are good reasons for it, but it would have been nice if Visual Studio 6.0 were enough for running Intel Fortran.
