strange error in Locals window

[Brian_Murphy]

I may have broken either Visual Studio or my fortran code. In the debugger, the Locals window is showing CXX0033: Error: error in OMF type information for fixed size arrays in a locally defined data structure This code was running fine. This problem just started yesterday. Anyone know what the problem might be?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Visual Studio 10.0 is for VS2010. If you also have that installed, don't touch it.

[Brian_Murphy]

I had moved the Intel Fortran folder out of VS2010 and onto the desktop. Intel Fortran Composer is installing right now, but it seems to be stuck on "step 13 of 25" which is installing VS 2010 Shell. It's been installing now for over an hour. Pretty soon I'm going to kill it and start over. Brian

[Brian_Murphy]

I killed the installer and ran it again.  This time it asked me "modify, repair, remove" to I picked repair.  It finished that in about a minute, but when I load my fortran project it says "incompatible".  I need to start over.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

You said you were using VS2012 - you should not need the shell. Did you uninstall VS2012? Or did you really mean VS2010?

At this point I suggest uninstalling Fortran, uninstalling all Visual Studios, delete any Visual Studio folders, then starting over.

[Brian_Murphy]

I am using VS2012.  I did not do anything to either VS2010 or 12, other than moving the Intel Fortran folder out of the VS2010 folder.  This was done after running the uninstaller for IVF.

Right now I an running the uninstaller for VS2012.  That will take a really long time based on prior experience.  Right now the VS2012 un-installer is creating a system restore point, and that alone will take the better part of an hour.  When this finishes, I will run the uninstaller for VS2010.

When I go to reinstall everything, what order should I do what?  I will plan on doing VS2012 first, then Intel Fortran.  Hopefully IMSL will survive all this.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Yes, that order is correct. IMSL will be unaffected.

[Brian_Murphy]

Upon attempting to install VS2012, I get this message

Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime (x64) Package Failed

Is this important?  I haven't tried to install IVF yet, but I plan to tomorrow.

Thanks,

Brian

[Steven_L_Intel1]

No, that isn't important.

[Brian_Murphy]

I have installed VS2012 and Intel Fortran.  I'm trying to run the matrix_vector_multiplication.sln sample project.  It will not build.  I get an error that says:

Configuration 'Debug/Win32" requires compiler support for the Win32 platform, but that support is not installed.

This is an entirely new problem.  I got a similar error when I picked Win64.  What do I do?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

What is the filename of the EXE you used for the install? Did you use the default location for the install?

[Brian_Murphy]

The name of the file I ran is setup.exe that came from w_fcompxe_2013.4.190.exe.  I took the defaults for everything.

Intel Fortan was not in the Add Remove Programs applet.  So I just now ran the IVF setup.exe again, and this time it finished without freezing.  The matrix_vector sample project will now build and run.  That's the good news.  The bad news is that after the better part of two days uninstalling and reinstalling everything, it didn't do any good.  In the Locals window I'm still seeing float[] and double instead of REAL, and matrix A and some other variables do not appear.

I really don't know what to do.  Should I give up on this computer and go get another?

Brian

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Could I convince you to uninstall Fortran (only) and download and install Composer XE SP1 Update 1? (w_fcompxe_2013_sp1.1.139.exe)

Something is preventing the Fortran debug support from loading. Do you see the same behavior for a newly created Fortran Console project?

[Brian_Murphy]

I'll try anything.  How do I get that download?  The Intel Software Manager will only tell me that I've got the "latest software available installed".

I created a new console project from scratch and added the two source files for the matrix vector multiplication sample.  I got exactly the same behavior in the debugger as with the original sln project.

Tomorrow I may go looking for another computer.  If I get one, I will do a full install of VS2012 followed by a full install of Intel Fortran Composer.

Brian

[Steven_L_Intel1]

It could be that your license support does not allow a newer version.

Do you have ForDbgEE.dll and ForDbgSW.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\Packages\Debugger\ ?

[Brian_Murphy]

Those two files are there and have dates of 1/16/2013

I'm having difficulty understanding what could cause this. I will probably have to ask the developers for some suggestions. Not that I think it will help, but please follow the various troubleshooting steps in http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/troubleshooting-fortran-integration-issues-with-visual-studio/

It would also be interesting if you install on another PC and see what it does.

[Brian_Murphy]

In case this helps, the following is from doing "copy info" in the About Visual Studio box. How does one identify the exact version of intel fortran that is installed? Is the one I have 13.0.3624.11 ??

[Steven_L_Intel1]

It's the "Package ID", w_fcompxe_2013.4.190, that identifies the product version. This says you have Composer XE 2013 Update 4, build 190.

The "13.0.3624.11" is the version of the specific integration into Visual Studio you are using - it isn't directly convertable to a product version, though the 13.0 gives an approximation. The .11 at the end indicates the VS version for this integration, VS2012 (Visual Studio 11.0).

[Brian_Murphy]

I went to that troubleshooting link. Here is something that looks relevant: VS2013: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Intel Fortran\VFPackages Check to see if this folder contains six DLL files Windows may hide the file type for DLL files - the file names are VFAVwin.dll, VFFortSvc.dll, I do not have this one VFHieEditor.dll, VFProj.dll, VFProjConvert.dll, VFToolOpt.dll. I do not have this one If any of these files are not present, uninstall and reinstall Intel Visual Fortran. So I'm going to (again) uninstall and reinstall Visual Fortran, then look for these files. Brian

[Steven_L_Intel1]

You missed important text:

NOTE: If you have Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011 Update 6 or later, (compiler version 12.1), or Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2013 (or later), and are using VS2010 or newer, there will be only four DLLs: VFAVwin.dll, VFHieEditor.dll, VFProj.dll and VFProjConvert.dll.

[Brian_Murphy]

Too late, fortran is now uninstalled. I will uninstall VS2012 again, then use CC cleaner to clean the registry, and start over. Brian
