How to link Visual Studio 2013 to intel API kit to use Fortran complier

[SaeedKhabbazan]

Dear all,

I need to use Fortran compiler on Visual Studio. So, I installed the visual studion 2013 on a windows first and then download and install the Intel API kit basekit and HPCkit from here. But when I open the VS now, there is not Fortran compiler on the supported project type. Also whne I search the web, I found ot the an extension should be add to VS but there is no extension tab on VS in my computer. I am totaly new to VS and Intel compalier and I would appreciate any kind of help to be able to solve this problem.

Regards,

Saeed

Hi Saeed,

The order you have chosen to install Visual Studio and Intel® oneAPI Toolkit is correct. However, Visual Studio Version 2013 is not compatible with the Intel® oneAPI Toolkit. Visit the below link to find the versions of operating systems & also Visual Studio tested and documented by Intel® as the compatible versions for the Intel® oneAPI Toolkit.

Note: Make sure to select the "Desktop Development with C++" component while installing the Visual Studio IDE.

Let me know if the issue still persists. Have a safe and pleasant day ahead.

Dear Soumya,

First I apologize for my writing mistake in the message. I have to install the VS 2013 because I need to work with a specific Fortran code which just works with that version. My friend installed VS2013 and then "Intel parallels Studio XE 2019 Update 3 Cluster edition for windows" two years ago and then he could use Fortran on VS 2013. I have been searching for the "intel parallel studio XE 2019 Update 3 Cluster edition for windows" but I cannot find it on the site. I just find a 2021 version and API kit which does not support VS2013. Could you please tell me how can I have a Fortran compiler on VS 2013? It is very important and urgent for me.

Kind Regards,
Saeed

If you have Parallel Studio XE license then you can download older versions of the compiler products from your  IRC account at https://registrationcenter.intel.com/en/products/ 

If you do not have a license then here is the information on how to buy one  https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/oneapi/commercial-base-hpc.html

This license will let you download the older versions of the products.
