Why Intel Compliers without IDE?

[lyfhq]

I wonder why the Intel Compliers without its own IDEs?
Now ,My OS is WindowsXP +sp2,and the VS.NET can not be installed(It says the .NET is not copatible with my system).And Intel Fortran Compliers don't support VS2005.What should I do ?

What is the exact error message you are getting and which version of VS.NET are you trying to install?

When I installing VS.net,the Step 1 of the setup would say "some components in your system is not support ,you need restart you computer and contiune installing".I restarted again and again ,but nothing happened !

Interesting. I assume you are installing from an account with administrator privileges? Also, try disabling any anti-virus and other monitoring applications.

If you have VS2005, you can request to be added to the beta test of a new version with support by sending me e-mail at steve.lionel at intel.com

Thank you ! Now I managed it with ConTEXT,and it runs well.Maybe the reason why I cann't install VS.NET is that I installed VC++2005 Express before.Anyway,Thank you all the same .Happy new year!
