error "intel visual fortran for win 32 not installed"

[spslb]

Dear experts,

I have downloaded a version of intel fortran composer for a test from intel website, but ran into a problem. And below is what I have done:

1. Download w_fcompxe_intel64_2011.11.344 and install on my Windows 7 computer. And I have vs2010 installed on my computer.

2. Go to start -> all programs -> intel parallel studio xe 2011 -> parallel studio xe 2011 with vs2010, then the studio window was opened

3. Go to new project, select intel visual fortran\\console application\\main program code from the available templates. Then I saw the source code to print ‘hello world’

4. Go to build and rebuild the solution , an error message return as “intel visual fortran for win 32 not installed”

Could anyone give me a solution to this issue? Many thanks.

You downloaded the installer that supports developing 64-bit applications only, but Visual Studio defaults to 32-bit.  This is a point of confusion for many customers and we are rewording the text a bit to make it clearer.  You evidently downloaded the "64-bit" version because you're on a 64-bit system, but that's not how these are distinguished.,  Rather, it's the architecture you want programs to run on. Most customers should choose the download with BOTH 32-bit and 64-bit support.

So, choose one of the following:

1) Go back to the Intel Software Registration Center, download and install w_fcompxe_novsshell_2011.11.344.exe (the one that says it is for 32-bit/64-bit development).

2) In Visual Studio, select Build > Configuration Manager.  Select New for the Active Solution Platform - it should then create an x64 configuration for you.

It does not work either with this download "w_fcompxe_novsshell_2011.11.344.exe". Same behavior as spsib. I will try to use w_fcompxe_ia32_2011.11.344.exe called : Intel® Visual Fortran for 32-bit development (for customers who have Microsoft Visual Studio* already installed) I'll give you feed back.

Michael, I am a bit confused by your reply. It is the _novsshell_ download which is "for customers who have Microsoft Visual Studio* already installed". The download you named without _novsshell_ should work the same. My guess is that you also, inadvertently, downloaded the Intel 64-only installer.

Hi Steve, I install the package containing only the 32 bit version but the name of the package was not so clear for me because it is named (...IA32...) a name that let me think of a package dedicated to an itanium machine and i was not so quiet but i still install it and it works. As the same component (...IA32...) exist in the "w_fcompxe_novsshell_2011.11.344.exe" with the X64 package my first comment is wrong and it is working if you install the IA 32 component. Perhaps the name IA32 could be renamed X86 for being less confusing. By the way, thank you for your help. Michel.

Intel calls the architecture IA-32 (and there's Intel 64, which most people call x64). In the past, there was a need for these subset packages, but I think they're now more confusing than helpful.
