VisualStudio Shell integration

[netphilou31]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to have:

1. One version of the compiler (2011.7.258) installed with integration into Visual Studio 2005,
2. Another version of the compiler (more recent : 2011.12.369) installed with Visual Studio 2010 shell and being also available into VS 2005.

I need to keep the point #1 working because it is used for a specific project but I would like to use the VS2010 shell as it offers more features with the last version of the compiler.

Do I need to install version 2011.12.369 from the "_novsshell" package to get the Visual studio 2005 integration and then install the other package (with VS2010 shell") or first install the compiler from the exe containing the VS2010 shell and then the "_novsshell" package ?

Best regards,

Phil.

As the current (2013) compilers don't recognize VS2005, they might support what you are asking better than the 2011 compilers. I don't think there is a provision for the earlier compilers to use VS2010 shell when an eligible VS installation is available.

What happen if you install only the "w_fcompxe_2011.12.369.exe" version of the compiler? (i.e. the one with the integrated Visual Studio shell). Will the setup installs the VS2010 shell or will it recognize that there is an existing copy of VS2005, so it will installs only the VS integration? Unfortunately, as mentioned previously, I need to keep a copy of VS2005 but I would prefer to work with VS2010 (even if it is a limited version of Visual Studio). Thanks.

Many thanks Steve, I will study the document and probably try that. Best regards,
