Which components of VS2008 have to be installed

[don_camillo]

Dear Support-Team,

in order to buy a lisence for Intel Visual Fortran Compiler I have some questions. I have learned that Visual Studio is required before the compiler can be installed. In our case we can make use of Visual Studio 2008 Professional. But is it really necessary to install all components from VS2008. If I check during the installation of VS2008 only the C++ Package (I wonder if the rest is required) the required space is larger than 3GB. I mean I just need a 64Bit Fortran Environment. Are there some components I can leave uninstalled. I am just asking because we still use the older Compaq Fortran Compiler (Version 6.6). And the required space for installing the whole package (including GUI and compiler) was about 1 GB as far as I can remember. So, which components of VS 2008 exactly have to be installed? Thanks for your answer in advance.

VS2008 install options have no relevance to CVF, nor does CVF support 64-bit development. These facilities could co-exist, on a version of Windows where CVF works, but will not interoperate in normal ways.

The basic C++ option of VS2008, plus the X64 component inside it, are required for 64-bit development. You can uncheck other components of C++. Also, for your basic purpose, you wouldn't require web or CLR components.

Visual C++ is all you need. As Tim says, if you want to do 64-bit development, check the box for "x64 Compiler and Tools." You can do without the Smart Device Programmability and Class and Template Libraries. Make sure that "Win32 Tools" is selected.
