installation package is corrupted

[wen]

After I installed Composer XE to my Windows Vista system and before I uninstall it, I did the compilation in Visual Studio 2008 and found that V.11.1.046 was running. I tried to uninstall V.11.1.046 and got an error message: ERROR: The installation package is corrupted. Suggestion: Download the package, and run the installation again. It might because I failed to uninstall it before I installed and uninstalled Composer XE.

I reinstalled V.11.1.046 (w_cprof_p_11.1.046_novsshell.exe) again and got the same error message when I tried to uninstall it. What could I do?

Wen,

If you corrupted your version of VS 2008 shell, you should install a version of 11.1 with the shell. You can see this from the descriptions of the downloads at registrationcenter.intel.com.

Can you try this and let us know.

Also is your OS a non English OS?

One way to tell is:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Intel Fortran\VFPackages\

to see what directories are there and their contents.

We have seen an error which will be fixed in the next update with the 1041 directory not being deleted on uninstall showing similar symptoms. If this is the case you would workaround it by:

1. Remove the 1041 folders from these directories:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Intel Fortran\VFPackages\

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\IntelFortran\COM Server\

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\IntelFortran\Console Application\

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\IntelFortran\Library\

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\IntelFortran\QuickWin Application\

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\IntelFortran\Windowing Application\

2. Run devenv /setup from the command prompt

Wendy,

My OS is a regular Windows Vista in English.

My VS 2008 shell is working fine. I still can run VS 2008 and build codes through Visual Fortran 11.1.046. I just could not uninstall V.11.1.046 in Control Panel/Programs/Programs and Features/Uninstall or change a program. When I tried to uninstall it, I got the message: ERROR: The installation package is corrupted.

I reinstalled V.11.1.046 (w_cprof_p_11.1.046_novsshell.exe) again and got the same error message when I tried to uninstall it. Should I reinstall it with VS 2008 shellbefore Iuninstall it?

Should I delete those 1041 folders as you said? If so, can I run devenv /setup from the command prompt in any folder?

In VS 2008, Tools/Options/Intel Visual Fortran/Compilers/Selected version of suite/compilers, it shows . And, under it, there is an item of Intel Visual Fortran 11.1.046 [IA-32]. When I build a code, I can see that it the VS 2008 is using 11.1.046. But, under Tools, I can see Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011/ Intel Visual Fortran Module Wizard, as I had XE 2011 installed last month. How can I have VS 2008 use XE 2011 instead of 11.1.046 to build codes?

Can I have XE 2011 coexist with 11.1.046 and even future updates in VS 2008 and select one of them for VS 2008 to use?

Wen,

Thanks for the details. You should be able to have 11.1 and Intel Visual Composer XE coxist and select the correct version in Microsoft Visual Studio. Here is the description of how to do this from the documentation and a screen shot showing the selection. Does this help you to pick the XE version? Is the XE version still installed?

Selecting the Compiler Version

If you have more than one version of the compiler installed, you can choose which version to be used when building applications. You can also select different versions for different target platforms and the version of the compiler you are using. The target platform you select determines the compiler versions that appear in the Selected dropdown box.

To select the compiler version:

1.Select Tools> Options. The Options dialog box appears.

2.Click Intel Visual Fortran> Compilers in the list at the left of the dialog box.

3.Use the Selected version of suite/compiler drop-down list to select your compiler version.

4.Click OK.
