Intel Visual Fortran Compiler Professional Edition
Lane Frisch
I am behind a web proxy that requires password authentication, so most of the install procedures that require an installer to automatically connect to the Internet do not work. I would like to do my installation pretending that my machine is disconnected from the Internet, especially since we will be later installing another copy of the software on a machine that actually IS disconnected from the Internet.
I installed the 30-day trial version license file (not just the serial number) in the proper location, but unfortunately the Intel License Manager doesn't seem to know about my license file. It keeps asking for my serial number, and when I provide it, the License Manager tries to access the internet and fails because it doesn't seem to know how to get past the authenticating proxy.
I downloaded the stand-alone installer (all 3 GB of it) and the installation appeared to complete successfully (except for the VTune Amplifier, which I decided to skip for now). Unfortunately there was no Fortran integration in Visual Studio 2017 or 2019, and when I looked for installed components under Help --> About Visual Studio I saw Visual C++, Intel Advisor, and Intel Inspector along with several third-party products such as Visual Assist X and Qt Visual Studio Integration, but no Intel Visual Fortran.
After much trial and error I was able to install the Intel Visual Fortran integration by following the steps for Issue 8 and for Issue 1, in that order, in -us/articles/intel-software-development-tools-integration-to-vs2017-issue
It has been a few years since I was involved with this, but when you install a purchased version, one of the "alternative" activation methods supports doing so when not connected to the Internet. I don't think this works with a trial version, but I am unsure.
Hi Intel Support,
1) I uninstalled "Intel Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for Fortran Windows* ".
2) I uninstalled "Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Professional".
3) I want to start from a "clean slate".
4) What is the exact procedure for installing the above 2 SWs and making them work properly with each other?
Please clarify. Thank you.
Hi Steve,
I followed the instructions in above link.
1) I first removed from my LT all Microsoft VS versions and also Intel-PSXE.
2) Then, i installed Microsoft-VS-2019-Professional.
3) Then, i installed Intel-PS-XE. It ended with a message that "integration with Microsoft VS is unsuccessful"
4) So i repaired the installation by following instructions in -us/articles/troubleshooting-fortran-integration-issues-with-visual-studio/ .
4a) Upon right-click on file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\shared files\VS Integration\VS16\Intel Fortran\VFPackages\VFProj.dll and checking its properties, i see Details File version = 19.1.55.16.
4b) Text in link " -us/articles/troubleshooting-fortran-integration-issues-with-visual-studio/" says "Right click on VFProj.dll and select Properties, then click on the Version tab. Look at the "File Version" displayed. It will be in the form of 11.1.3464.2008. The first two numbers (11.1 here) indicate the compiler version. These must match that of the most recent version of the compiler installed. The last number (2008 here) indicates the Visual Studio version this DLL is for. If the compiler version does not match, uninstall Intel Visual Fortran, delete the entire "Intel Fortran" folder under the appropriate Microsoft Visual Studio folder, then reinstall Intel Fortran."
At this point I suggest you open a ticket with the Intel Online Service Center. I do note that you didn't say that you followed the instructions in the link I posted above. Is your system connected to the Internet? If so, the "workaround" for offline systems does not apply to you.

I have just reinstalled my Visual Fortran - Professional addition version 10 on my machine. Unfortunately, I am getting repeatedly an error code: PRJ0019: "A tool returned and error code: upon compiling/build a program.
Did you install Visual Studio separately, or use the included VS2005 Premier Partner Edition? I'll comment that VS2005 doesn't work well on Windows Vista or later - at one time Microsoft offered an update that would help with compatibility, but it seems to be gone now.
Ok, it's the manifest tool that is the problem - I've seen this a lot over the years. The manifest tool (mt.exe) is a Microsoft tool that runs after the linker and embeds the "application manifest" into the executable.
The most common cause of this error is antivirus tools that do a scan of any newly created EXE to make sure it doesn't have a virus. This locks the file and prevents mt.exe from working. The usual solution to that is to tell your AV tool not to scan your project folders.
I have attached a screen shot of a file that I am using to figure this problem out. In the shot, you see listed under file properties/fortran/data the commands in the right window. This set of commands appear in all subs under fortran, and not options to make changes are available.
Unfortunately, that screen shot doesn't provide any information useful to the problems you described. What you showed was the set of compile options used in Visual Studio to compile Fortran sources, but you haven't mentioned any issues with such compilations.
As you requested in reply #5, I set my virus program to ignore my fortran folders. Nevertheless, I still have limited use of the MS VS fortran. Below are two curious problems that I am currently dealing with.
When you wish to create a program in MS Visual Studio, you must first create a Project (or new Solution with first Project), and declare that the project type is that of a program/execuitable. (Console or other from template). Simply clicking on: File New is insufficient to establish a buildable program.
This seems to indicate that the Project file is incorrect (not specifying a Fortran project), ... or possibly you opened a Project created with a much earlier version of MS VS and either failed to update it as requested (or MS VS could not recognize the Project file format, which should have resulted in an error message). Or, the installation failed to fully integrate Intel Fortran into MS VS. In this case I suggest uninstalling Intel Fortran, then re-installing it by Right-Clicking on the ...setup.exe and choosing Run As Administrator.
Also, I am still unable to create a new program. First, I define an empty project via New>project>quick win app or >visual studio app. and then add in a *.f90 file, and still end up with build icons not available.
3. An alternative option for me would be to resurrect an old computer laying around, install Windows 7 (which I still have the DVDs for), and finally install my visual studio with intel fortran. Is there a reason that would not work?
Well the only VS you can purchase is 2017 you can google Visual Studio community which is the same but free if you qualify. As to compatibility no VS release from the last 10 years will work with fortran 10 which is ancient. Intel Foran usually supports three releases of VS so the current support VS2013, 2015 and 2017. I would suggest upgrading your fortran is what would need to do.
I agree with Andrew. Click the "here" link in my post 13 for a compatibility reference. For Windows 10, VS2010 or later would be recommended, but as Andrew says, VS2017 is the current. If you do Fortran-only development, Intel Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition for Fortran Windows (the least expensive product to include Intel Visual Fortran) includes a VS2015-based Fortran development environment so you would not need to buy VS in addition. Alternatively, the VS2017 Community Edition is free for many users - just be sure to customize the install and select C++ under Languages.
On my machine I have been working with IVF 11.072 and 12.0, both integrated in VS2008 and VS2010. Recently, I installed VS2013 and Intel Parallel Studio XE 2013. Since with the first two I was able to change (if needed) the compiler from Tools->Options->Intel Composer XE->Visual Fortran, I hope to maintain the three different versions of the compiler. However, now, all three Visual Studio versions are integrated only with the 14.0.
Since I am dealing with the update of academic legacy codes, I would prefer to maintain the three of them in each visual studio version. I found this blog post ( -us/articles/using-older-intel-visual-fortran-versions-in-different-microsoft-visual-studio-versions) but it relates only with the possibility of having an older version. I understand that I have in some way to change the integration folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Intel Fortran, but I do not know how. Even with uninstalling and reinstalling everything it did not change much.
Are these "academic legacy codes" character mode applications or GUI applications? The codes may be old, but must you also use an old compiler, and tie that to a GUI front-end such as Visual Studio? Each additional dependency restricts your freedom to build and maintain the old code. In other words, what attribute of these old codes keeps you from using the latest development packages?
