This document explains how to install and configure for use the Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler 10.1 for Windows* product. Installation is a multi-step process. Please read this document in its entirety before beginning and follow the steps in sequence. For information about the product contents, including new and changed features, please refer to the separate Release Notes.
If you have a previous (lower numbered) version of the Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler for Windows installed, you do not need to uninstall it before installing this version. If you choose to uninstall the older version, you may do so before or after installing this version.
Intel® compilers support three platforms: general combinations of processor architecture and operating system type. This section explains the terms that Intel uses to describe the platforms in its documentation, installation procedures and support site.
The term "native" refers to building an application that will run on the same platform that it was built on; for example, building on IA-32 architecture to run on IA-32 architecture . The term "cross-platform" or "cross-compilation" refers to building an application on a platform type different from the one on which it will be run, for example, building on IA-32 architecture to run on Intel® 64 architecture systems. Not all combinations of cross-platform development are supported and some combinations may require installation of optional tools and libraries.
The following table describes the supported combinations of compilation host (system on which you build the application) and application target (system on which the application runs).
| Host \ Target | IA-32 | Intel® 64 | IA-64 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IA-32 | Yes |
Yes |
Yes |
| Intel® 64 | Yes |

only; do not install a package that includes Microsoft Visual Studio
2005 Premier Partner Edition. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008 Professional Edition and higher require a Custom install to select the "x64 compiler and tools" subcomponent
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition is included with the following license types of Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition is not included with the following license types of Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler:
On IA-32 and Intel® 64 architecture systems, if Microsoft Visual Studio
is not found and the CD or w_fc_p_10.1.xxx.exe download installer
is used, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition will be installed.
Installers for single architectures and those with NOVSPPE in the name
do not install Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition.
Note: Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002* is not supported.
Notes:
It is the responsibility of application developers to ensure that the machine instructions contained in the application are supported by the operating system and processor on which the application is to run.
For Windows Vista, Microsoft supports only Visual Studio 2005/2008* and not earlier Visual Studio versions. Before installing the Intel compiler on Windows Vista, Visual Studio 2005 users should install Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 (VS 2005 SP1) as well as the Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista which is linked to from the VS 2005 SP1 page. After installing these updates, you must ensure that Visual Studio runs with Administrator permissions, otherwise you will be unable to use the Intel compiler. Please uninstall the Intel compiler integration before installing any Visual Studio updates. For more information, please see Microsoft's Visual Studio on Windows Vista page and related documents.
Before installing the compiler and tools, you should check the Product Downloads section of the Intel® Software Development Products Registration Center to see if a newer version or update is available. The version on CD or as listed in your electronic download license letter may not be the most current. In order to download and install a compiler from Intel® Premier Support, you will first have to register for support as described under Technical Support.
At the Intel® Software Development Products Registration Center, the compiler is provided in several different packages to meet your needs. The filenames and descriptions of the packages are:
If you have obtained the product on CD, it contains the development tools for all three platforms.
If you have a license for Intel® Visual Fortran Professional Edition, your license entitles you to install and use Intel® Math Kernel Library. If you do not see Intel Math Kernel Library listed as available to you at the Intel® Software Development Products Registration Center, log in to the Intel® Software Development Products Registration Center, select My Registrations, locate and select your Intel® Visual Fortran Professional Edition license and click "Resend license file to my email address". Download and installation of the Intel Math Kernel Library is separate - please refer to that component's Installation Guide and/or Release Notes for details.
If you encounter difficulty with the initial installation or registration process, please visit https://registrationcenter.intel.com/support to request help from Intel.
To install the Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler, you need to use an account
that is a member of the Administrators privilege group. Any normal
account with Users, Debugger Users or higher user
privilege can use the Intel® Visual Fortran
Compiler. On Windows Vista, Visual Studio must be run as Administrator - this
is a Microsoft restriction.
Note: the default installation master directory referred to as <install-dir> in
this document, is %ProgramFiles%\Intel The Fortran 10.1 compiler
is installed into the Compiler\Fortran\10.1.xxx subfolder.
If you will be using a separately purchased Microsoft Visual Studio development environment or the Microsoft Platform SDK (see System Requirements), you must install those before installing the compiler.
Please make sure that you do not have anti-virus or other system protection software set to silently block "suspicious" scripts or installers, as this can interfere with installation of software products.
If you will be installing Microsoft Visual Studio Premier Partner Edition and you also wish to use Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition (for separate access to the C++ compiler), you must uninstall Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition before installing Visual Studio Premier Partner Edition along with Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler. After the Fortran install is complete, you may reinstall Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition if desired. Please note that the Fortran and C++ compiler environments will be separate and not combined.
Note for users of Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler 10.0: If you develop for the Intel® 64 architecture and installed the version of Microsoft Visual Studio included with the compiler (Premier Partner Edition), please uninstall the 10.0 integration and Visual Studio before installing version 10.1. The Visual Studio Premier Partner Edition in version 10.1 contains a fix to a problem present in the older installation. If you do not develop for the Intel® 64 architecture it is not necessary to uninstall the old version.
The recommended installation order is as follows:
Install Microsoft Visual Studio or Microsoft Platform SDK if necessary.
Apply any appropriate Service Packs and updates to Microsoft Visual Studio. Note that the Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition, included with some license types, does not have any Service Packs applied to it.
Install Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler 10.1
You can have multiple versions of the Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler
installed, and as of version 10.0, two or more update versions of the
same numbered version can coexist. When you install an update to version
10.1, previous versions are not uninstalled automatically. Users
of Microsoft Visual Studio must select the new version from
within Microsoft Visual Studio (Tools
> Options > Intel(R) Fortran > Compilers ).. If you do
not wish to have old versions installed, you can uninstall them before
(recommended) or after installing the newer version. Note that the
install path will be different for each update.
If you are using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005* or 2008 and will be developing 64-bit applications (for the Intel® 64 or IA-64 architectures) you may need to change the configuration of Visual Studio to add 64-bit support.
If you are using Visual Studio 2005/2008 Standard Edition or Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition, no configuration is needed to build Intel® 64 architecture applications.
For other editions:
To use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008 Team System Edition to build applications to run on IA-64 architecture systems, follow the above steps and ensure that the box “Itanium Compiler and Tools” is checked.
Setup.exe at the top level of the
CD-ROM and double-click it. If you received the compiler product
as a download, double-click on the downloaded file.Note: If you choose a Custom install, you will not see Visual Studio Premier Partner Edition nor Visual Studio Integration displayed as options. These components will always be installed if applicable.
The IMSL Fortran Library is installed separately from either a download or by inserting the CD containing the IMSL installers. The general steps for installing are similar to that for installing the compiler except that only platform-specific installers are provided. If you wish to install IMSL for more than one platform, install the version for your native platform last.
If you are a network administrator and your organization has purchased floating or node-locked licenses for Intel software development products, you need to install the Intel® License Manager for FLEXlm* on a system on your local network. This product provides the Intel® License Manager for FLEXlm* for Windows*. Intel also offers the Intel License Manager for FLEXlm for a variety of other popular platforms. Any Intel License Manager for FLEXlm can serve licenses for Intel products on any combination of platforms.
To install the supplied Intel License Manager for FLEXlm after the compiler
has been installed, select Start..Programs..Intel(R) Software Development
Tools.. Intel(R) License Manager for FLEXlm..Install. Please refer
to the User's Guide available in the same menu for details on installing
and configuring the license manager. License managers for other platforms
can be downloaded as described in the User's
Guide.
It is possible to install the components of the Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler product in a manner that does not require user feedback. The installs are not "silent" in that they display progress messages. This capability is useful for system administrators who wish to install the product on behalf of their users.
In the following instructions, the version number 10.1.020 will be used as an example. If you are installing a different version, replace the version number in file names with the actual version.
C:\Program Files\Intel\Download\IntelFortranCompiler10.1.
Click Next..lic and, on a system where the product
is installed, it will be found in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\Licenses.
(The name of this folder may vary on non-English language systems.)
If you do not have the license file, you can request that it be emailed
to you at the Intel® Software Development Products Registration
Center. C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Intel\Licenses (or the proper corresponding
folder on the client system.)installs subfolder to a folder of your choice on
the client system. ppe.exe /s /v"/qb"w_fc_p_10.1.020_IA32.exe /s /v"/qb"w_fc_p_10.1.020_Intel64.exe /s /v"/qb"w_fc_p_10.1.020_IA64Cross.exe /s /v"/qb" w_fc_p_10.1.020_IA64.exe /s /v"/qb" IA32 with Intel64 or IA64 depending
on client architecture type) w_idb_p_10.1.020_IA32.exe /s /v"/qb"w_ide_p_10.1.020_IA32.exe /s /v"/qb" When each of these commands is invoked, control will return to the caller immediately. Each installation will typically take several minutes. When using the silent install capability, the components will always install to the default location - it is not possible at this time to customize any aspect of the installs.
If multiple copies of the Microsoft Platform SDK have been installed on the system, the compiler install may, in some cases, say that it cannot find the Platform SDK and will prompt you for the path. If this happens, please use the Browse button to identify the proper Platform SDK path.
The compiler install cannot detect if you have an unsupported version of the Microsoft Platform SDK installed. Please verify that the version selected meets the System Requirements.
If you are installing and configuring the Intel License Server, used for floating and node-locked licenses only, in some cases the license service may fail to start. In this circumstance, a message box will appear with instructions for manually starting the license service.
You can use the Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler from a command window, or from within the Microsoft visual development environment, if you installed the component for Visual Studio integration.
To use the Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler from a command window,
open the command window from the Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler's
menu from [Start]->[All Programs]->[Intel® Software Development Tools]-> [Intel® Fortran
Compiler 10.1.xxx]->[Fortran Build environment for applications running
on IA-32]. It sets up the environment automatically. Or you can open a normal
command window and run <install-dir>\Compiler\Fortran\10.1\xxx\bin\ifortvars.bat.Where
xxxx is IA32, EM64T or Itanium.
It also sets up the environment correctly to use the Intel Fortran Compiler.
If you need to use the Intel C++ Compiler from the same command window,
run <install-dir>\Compiler\C++\10.1\xxxx\bin\iclvars.bat
Note: ifortvars.bat should be run after iclvars.bat so
the linker will pick up the correct Fortran run-time libraries.
To use the Intel Fortran Compiler from the Microsoft visual development
environment, use the program group item for the installed Microsoft product,
for example, Start > All Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 > Microsoft
Visual Studio 2005.
If you have any problems running the compiler, please make sure a valid license
file (*.lic) is located in the license directory. The compiler uses the environment
variable INTEL_LICENSE_FILE to locate the license file. If you
still have problems, please submit an issue to Intel® Premier Support.
See the Technical Support section of this document for details.
If you have not already done so, please register for support after you install this product. See Technical Support for registration instructions.
For information on configuring either the command-line or the Visual Studio environment for use with the IMSL* Fortran Libraries, provided in the Professional Edition only, please refer to the sections on using IMSL in the Building Applications > Using Libraries section of the Intel Visual Fortran Compiler Documentation.
