Why my Fortran 8.1 is not in .Net

[Dong_Zheng]

I was updating from 8.0 to 8.1. Follow the instruction, I first uninstalled Intel fortran 8.0 and then installed the new 8.1 I've just downloaded. However when I open my Visual Studio .NET again, the fortran compiler is not there anymore! I can still use ifort from the command line though.

Could anyone tell me how I could get fortran back in to the Studio .NET?

Thanks,

This happens if your VS.NET is not installed on the Windows boot disk.

To workaround this issue, copy the directory "Intel Fortran" from "C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio .NET 2003" to the subdirectory where VS.NET 2003 is installed on your non C: drive (e.g. "D:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio .NET 2003")

Then open a command window, go to the "Intel FortranVFPackages" (e.g. "D:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio .NET 2003Intel FortranVFPackages") directory, and register all the DLLs as shown below:

>>regsvr32 vfavwin.dll

>>regsvr32 vffortsvc.dll

>>regsvr32 vfproj.dll

>>regsvr32 vfprojconvert.dll

>>regsvr32 vftoolopt.dll

>>../../Common7/IDE/devenv /setup

Now start the VS .NET 2003, and you should see the Intel Fortran logo on the splash screen and the integration of Intel Fortran Microsoft Visual Studio* .NET 2003 IDE should now work.

This problem will be fixed in the 8.1.021 compiler release, due soon. We're also taking steps to ensure that it does not recur.

Thanks, Steve. This fixed the problem for now.
