"Unable to Start Program" Error

[rafadix08]

Hi all,
I suddenly started to have this Windows OS message "Unable to Start Program ..." when I try to run a program that was successfully compiled. I was not having this message before, and as far as I know I did not do anything different this time. I wonder if anybody has a clue of what could be causing this error. Please let me know if you need further information.
Many thanks,
Rafael

Please show the build log output from your build. I wonder if you have built a 64-bit application and are running it on 32-bit Windows.

Hi Steve,

Here it is.

Thanks,

Are you trying to start this in the debugger? Which Visual Studio version are you using? Will the program run if you use "start without debugging"?

A web search suggests many causes for this error, including a virus.

What is the exact text of the error message? Can you attach a ZIP of the EXE here?

Yes, I am trying to start the debugger. I am using Visual Studio 2005 8.0.
The message I received is: Unable to start program 'C:/..../simple_eq.exe'
When I try to 'start without debugging' I receive: 'C"/.../simple_eq.exe' is not a valid Win32 application.
I receive the same error message when I build the project in release mode and try to execute it.
The zip of the exe file is attached.
Should I uninstall and then install again both MVS and Intel Fortran?
Thanks a lot,
Rafael

Do you declare a very large array in the program? It looks as if the "data size" is too large to run on 32-bit Windows, though it does not quite exceed 2GB. I see no evidence that there is a compiler problem. The data section has size X'7CD88980'.

Hi Steve,
You are probably right. I increased an array in a factor of 10 just before I got this problem.
However, I cannot be sure yet. I have a new problem now.
I decided to uninstall and the reinstallthe latest versiobs of Intel Fortran and MS Visual Studio. I first received an error message such as "cannot find rc.exe".
I then followed the procedure in http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/can-not-find-rcexe/
Now, when I try to build a project a get the error message:
fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'mkl_intel_c.lib'
Could you please help me on that?
Many thanks,
Rafael

I guess this is relevant information...
I have the following lines in my program (I use the IMSL library)

INCLUDE 'link_fnl_static_hpc.h'
USE RNNOR_INT
USE RLSE_INT

Select Tools > Options > Intel Visual Fortran > Compilers. Click the "..." button next to Libraries. It should contain this line somewhere in the list:

$(IFortInstallDir)mklia32lib

If it doesn't, add it.
