Win32

[janice_kooken]

I just installed the Intel Software development suite student edition. I am trying to run fortran, and I get the following error: Intel Visual Fortran Compiler for Win32 not installed. When I look at the following path

Tools => Options => Intel Fortran => Compilers => Selected Compiler

it says that no compiler is installed.

I installed the recommended way with no customization. What is going wrong? I have a 64 bit processor, Windows 7, and I selecte dthe 64 bit installation.

Thanks,

JK

There may be other problems, but try this -- it does not take much effort. Select the project type as Win64 before attempting to build.

If you installed only the package to target Win64, you cannot build 32-bit targets.

I'm not sure how the Student Edition is packaged, but if you are specifically downloading a Fortran install, you want the one whose name ends in _novsshell.exe, which has both 32 and 64-bit support. You probably installed only the "Intel 64" compiler and that means you would have to use Build > Configuration Manager and create a "New" configuration for the "x64" platform.

I wasn't given any obvious options during installation, but I did purchase the 64-bit option. The file name ends in intel64_setup.

I am not sure how these are sold, but I would be astonished if you had to choose between 32-bit and 64-bit when purchasing. I suggest registering your serial number at the Intel Registration Center, logging in, downloading the Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011 Update 8 installer that is the first one listed, "Intel Visual Fortran for 32-bit/64-bit (x64) development (for customers who have Microsoft Visual Studio* already installed)". We do provide an installer with the 64-bit compiler only, but I'd recommend that you install the larger package with both 32-bit and 64-bit compilers.

Or, you could choose to always build an x64 configuration, but that's a nuisance in most cases.
