running an executable ivf file on another computer

[intel_ip]

Am having a problem running an exe file created using ivf on another computer. Get the following error message: The program can't start because libifcoremdd.dll is missing from your computer.

Would appreciate a solution to this problem - thanks

On the target machine where you want to run the program, you need to install the redistributables package. See https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/redistributables-for-intel-parallel-studio-xe-2015-composer-edition-for-windows. You may need to install the Microsoft Visual C redistributables as well.

Alternatively, if you build your application with the Multithreaded option (/libs:static /threads), then the required DLL's will be included in the executable and you will not need to redistribute any other packages.

The consequence of doing this, however, is that your executables will be larger.

Thanks very much. It worked well.

How does one  build an application with the Multithreaded option (/libs:static /threads)? - cheers

In Visual Studio,

Select your project

Properties / Configuration Properties / Fortran / Libraries / Runtime Library

change the option from Multithreaded DLL to Multithreaded.

Thanks for your quick response.  Attached is a print screen of what is presently the option for 'runtime library'. Does that make sense?  So I should change this option to 'Multireaded', correct?

Thanks again for your help.

Cheers, Ian

You'll want Debug MultiThreaded for the Debug build and Multithreaded for the Release build.

Thanks for the explanation!  I will try that.
