This article provides an overview of the Microsoft development software required to use Intel Visual Fortran Compiler 11.1 Professional Edition.  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 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 2008 Shell (included with some license types of Intel® Fortran Compiler) [2]

To use the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment or command-line tools to build IA-32 architecture applications, one of:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003* with C++ component installed [3]
  • Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2003* [3]

To use the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment or command-line tools to build IA-64 architecture applications, one of:

  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team System Edition with C++ and “Itanium Compiler and Tools” components installed [4] plus Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5*
  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System Edition with C++ and “Itanium Compiler and Tools” components installed [4]

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 Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK
  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit Update for Windows Vista*
  • Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5*

To use command-line tools only to build IA-64 architecture applications, one of:

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK
  • Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5*

Notes:

  1. 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.
  2. Intel® Visual Fortran development environment based on Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition is included with Academic and Commercial licenses for Intel Visual Fortran Compiler Professional Edition. It is not included with Evaluation or Student licenses, nor with “Compiler Suite” products that also include the Intel® C++ Compiler. 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
  3. Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 is not supported on Microsoft Windows Vista. Support for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 will be removed in a future release of the product.
  4. Microsoft Visual Studio is not supported for installation on IA-64 architecture systems

Support Deprecated for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003*

In a future major release of Intel Visual Fortran Compiler, support for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003* will be removed. Intel recommends migrating to a current version of Microsoft Visual Studio.
