fortcom.exe not found; How to set up command line for 64 bit builds?

[Grey_E_]

Hello,

I am running ifort via command line (via the windows start menu). I am receiving the following error:

ifort: error #10037: could not find 'fortcom'

ifort: error #10273: Fatal error in fortcom, terminated by 0Xffffffff

I have noticed that fortcom.exe is not within bin/intel64. However, there is a copy in bin/ia32. I'm guessing my install is not setup for 64 bit builds. How do I set it up to do so? Can I simply copy fortcom.exe over to bin/intel64.

Note that everything worked fine until I did an intel software update...

Thanks!

No, you can't copy the file. It's a different program. From "Programs and Features", select the Intel product with Fortran (Intel Parallel Studio XE for the current version) and then Change/modify. Run through the customizations and make sure that Intel 64 is selected as a target. Note that some older versions of Visual Studio don't install x64 support by default.

Hello Steve,

I saw your posts on previous problems concerning fortcom recommending this. Unfortunately, I don't see an option to "change/modify". Can you be more specific? Is there anything else that I can do?

I have Intel Parallel Studio XE 2013

Thanks!

You can simply rerun the installer EXE. For your version, you want to look for "Intel Composer XE 2013 SP1" (or maybe without SP1) in Programs and Features. The link in  Windows 7 is "Uninstall/Change", not "Change/Modify".
