This article provides an overview of the Microsoft development software required to use Intel® Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011. For more details, refer to the product Release Notes.
Microsoft Development Software Requirements
To use the Microsoft Visual Studio* development environment or command-line tools to build IA-32 or Intel® 64 architecture applications, one of:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2010* Professional Edition or higher with C++ component installed
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008* Standard Edition or higher with C++ and “X64 Compiler and Tools” components installed [1]
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2005* Standard Edition or higher with C++ and “X64 Compiler and Tools” components installed [1]
- Intel® Visual Fortran development environment based on Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Shell (included with some license types of Intel® Fortran Compiler) [2]
To use command-line tools only to build IA-32 architecture applications, one of::
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2008* Express Edition
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2005* Express Edition [5]
To use command-line tools only to build Intel® 64 architecture applications, one of:
- Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Update for Windows Vista*
- Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5*
Notes:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 Standard Edition installs the “x64 Compiler and Tools” component by default – the Professional and higher editions require a “Custom” install to select this.
- Intel® Visual Fortran development environment based on Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Shell is included with Academic and Commercial licenses for Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011. It is not included with Evaluation or Student licenses. This development environment provides everything necessary to edit, build and debug Fortran applications. Some features of the full Visual Studio product are not included, such as:
- Resource Editor (see ResEdit*, a third-party tool, for a substitute)
- Automated conversion of Compaq* Visual Fortran projects
Do you need more help?

I have been using your VF ( ver 10.1...) for 2 yrs (with Visual Studio 2005) under XP. I have recently upgraded to a 64 bit PC running Windows 7. Visual Studio installed OK, and I believe my single-user Visual Fortran installed as well. But it's complaining about my license. What do I need to do to transfer my license to my new PC? |

sfrese, no "transfer" is needed. If you are having license issues, please ask in http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-software-develo.....licensing/ I had not seen Rob DeWall's question before. In case he sees this, Rob, you don't want the "IA-64" version for a 64-bit XP system. You want the "Intel 64" version, or the "full" kit that contains both IA-32 and Intel 64 compilers plus Visual Studio 2008 Shell. "IA-64" is for Intel Itanium systems, a high-end server processor. |

I tried to install Intel Visual Fortran Compiler 11.1.06 in my Netbook with an Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz. The integration with Visual Studio (VS 2008 and VS2010) did not work. Need I an special Version for this Fortran Compiler, or need I something else than VS2008 or VS2010? Thank you very much for your help |
| April 26, 2010 7:18 AM PDT
Steve Lionel (Intel)
| Visual Studio 2010 is not supported by the 11.1 compiler. VS2008 should work. Please see http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/troubleshooting-for..... al-studio/ for help with VS integration issues. If you still need help with this, please ask in the user forum at http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-visual-fortran-..... r-windows/ |

| No - VS2010 is supported with Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011 (aka 12.0). I'll update this article. |

Pavol Rajniak |
We have been using Compaq Visual Fortran since 2002 having multiple licenses. However, recently people getting new PCs have problem to launch the software (installation looks OK). Are you supporting also the old Compaq Visual Fortran and can help us to resolve the issue ? Thank you, Pavol Rajniak Merck @ Co., IInc. |

Hi, Can I compile Fortran 77 codes on Intel Fortran Composer 2011 using VS2010? |
| October 6, 2011 12:49 PM PDT
Steve Lionel (Intel)
| ferroburak: Yes, absolutely. Fortran 66 code too. Some F66/F77 programs might need non-default options to select behavior when the semantics have changed. |

| Which version of Intel Visual Fortran compiler should be downloaded to work with Visual Studio 2003? Where do I get the older version? I could not find it. |

Version 11.1 supports VS2003. See http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/older-version-installation/ |

| Steve, we upgraded to a high end 64BIT machine and now need to reinstall Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011 on this machine. When I go to install this, it says the license has expired. The documentation stated the software would still run, that we wouldn't have support unless upgraded our license. How do we do this? Thanks! |

The ABAQUS requirements to integrate with FORTRAN routines are to use IVF 10.1: I also find that Intel Visual Fortran Version 10.1 requirements for Windows x86_32. One of the following: Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Standard, Professional, Express, or Team System Edition (with C++ component installed) Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Standard, Professional, Express, or Team System Edition (with C++ component installed) The Intel site only lists Intel® Visual Fortran Composer XE for Windows. Is this same as Intel Visual Fortran Professional? If so what version of the Composer is the same as IVF Version 10.1? If it is not what is the equivalent compiler? Does the Professional Edition of the Compiler come with MVS 2008 Standard or Professional? with C++ components? Thanks, Santhosh |

Please see http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/older-version-installati on/ for instructions on how to download and install an older version. Visual Fortran Composer XE is the new name for the product formerly called Visual Fortran Compiler Professional Edition. Following the instructions in the article you will be able to download the 10.1 compiler, assuming you have a current license. This compiler includes Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition, which satisfies the requirement. Abaqus 6.11 supports Intel Visual Fortran 11.1, which would be a better choice than 10.1. Version 11.1 includes Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell. If you have further questions, please ask in http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-visual-fortran-..... r-windows/ |

Thanks. I agree IVF 11.1 is a better choice for ABAQUS 11.1. Do you know whether the MS Visual Studio Shell that comes with it also has C++ components installed. Or does the C++ components come from a different product that has to purchased? |

| You need to download the installer that includes Microsoft Visual Studio Shell. It is the first one listed on the download site. Please note that this is not available for evaluation or student licenses. |

Hi, I'm getting the error "Intel(R) Fortran Compiler for 'Win32' not installed, when I tried to build a fortran project in MS Visual Studio 2008 (with Intel Fortran 11.0.075 installed). -I have a PC running 64-bit Windows 7 -I installed Visual Studio first, then Intel Fortran 11.0.075 (tried the reverse order as well) -I have checked that the "integration files" are present in the right folder (the .DLL files being: VFAVwin.dll, VFFortSvc.dll, VFHieEditor.dll, VFProj.dll, VFProjConvert.dll, VFToolOpt.dll) -I have visited Intel's "Configuring Fortran and Visual Studio" blog and have tried the suggestions on including additional libraries but had no luck (http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-math-kernel-l.....al-studio/) -I have run Intel's "VS 2008 Repair Tool" as well with no luck Any suggestions?? Thanks, Ryan |

Steve Lionel (Intel)
| Please make sure that you have installed the Fortran compiler for IA-32. My suggestion is to download and install the compiler installer whose description is "Intel® Visual Fortran for IA-32 and Intel® 64 (for customers who have Microsoft Visual Studio* already installed)" If you chose to install only the compiler for Intel 64, you can build only 64-bit projects. |

Santhosh | I installed Intel® Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011 (w_fcompxe_2011.9.300) on a core i7 pc with Windows 7. When I start Visual Studio 2010 & go to New Projects, I dont see the option for Intel Visual Fortran for Project Type; I only see Visual Studio Solutions under Other Project Types. If I open fortran files (that were previously developed using MVS 2003 & IVF 9) I dont see the option to compile them. What am I doing wrong or is the fortran compiler not installed correctly. |
