Please print out and read this section before beginning the installation procedure. This procedure is for
installing Intel Visual Fortran 10.1 for IA-32 [1] applications with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner
Edition [3] under either 32-bit or 64-bit Windows, or,
installing Intel Visual Fortran 10.1 for Intel(R) 64 [2] (sometimes referred to as EM64T) applications under 64-bit
Windows
For the installation you should have the following:
The Intel Visual Fortran install executable from Intel:
w_fc_p_10.1.xxx.exe (approx. 300 MB)
which you either downloaded or have on CD.
["xxx" is the subversion number - for example "014" which means version 10.1.014.]
Your Intel Fortran licence file or serial number.
The Intel Visual Fortran for Windows Installation Guide.
(Recommended for XP installations, and required for later versions of Windows)
Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1 VS80sp1-KB926601-X86-ENU.exe
(approx. 432 MB)
(Required for installation into Vista, Windows 7 and later Windows Versions.)
Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista VS80sp1-KB932232-X86-ENU.exe
(approx. 29 MB)
Your installation procedure will depend on your version of Windows and choice of Intel Fortran compiler. The installation steps given in the next
section clearly indicate the appropriate choices for each combination.
Installation steps
The installation procedure we describe here is straight forward and varies only slightly from the defaults suggested by the Intel install program.
Start the install by running the w_fc_p_10.1.xxx.exe install program.
Click through the installation procedure accepting the default settings until you reach the "Setup Type" dialogue where the choice you are
presented with is Complete or Custom. Select Custom and click Next.
On the following "Choose Destination Location" dialogue click Next.
For 32-bit installations complete step 4a, for 64-bit installations complete step 4b.
32-bit Installations. On the "Select Features" dialogue alter the default selections as follows. Expand the item "Intel(R)
Visual Fortran Compiler" by clicking on the adjacent + symbol, and clear the box beside "Compile applications for Intel(R) 64". Also clear the
box adjacent to "Intel(R) Debugger". Your selection should look like Figure 1. Go to step 5.

64-bit Installations. On the "Select Features" dialogue alter the default selections as follows. Expand the item "Intel(R)
Visual Fortran Compiler" by clicking on the adjacent + symbol, and clear the box beside "Compile applications for IA-32". Also clear the box
adjacent to "Intel(R) Debugger". Your selection should look like Figure 2. Go to step 5.

Confirm your selections and click Next.
At the "Ready to Install" dialogue, click Install.
A sequence of dialogues now follows. You will need to accept the MSVSPPE licence agreement, click through the subsequent dialogues accepting
the defaults. If the install program detects that your Windows installation does not already have "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0" installed you
will be prompted through the .NET installation. Several progress dialogues follow indicating that the Intel Fortran compiler components are being
installed.<\li>
Vista installations only. [Go on to point 9 if not using Vista.] If you are installing under Vista you will see during the installation step
installing "Integrations in Microsoft Visual Studio" the warning message in Figure 3 below
Figure 3: Vista installation warning message
Click Run program and complete the installation. This issue will be taken care of by installing the two service packs that you have already
downloaded in the subsequent steps.
Eventually you will see "Installation Complete". Click Finish.
Installation of the Visual Studio service pack is recommended for Windows XP and is compulsory for installations on later versions of Windows.
To install this service pack, run the install program
VS80sp1-KB926601-X86-ENU.exe
which is your downloaded copy of Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1.
The service pack is quite large and may take a few minutes to install.
Installation of a second Visual Studio service pack is compulsory on post-XP versions of Windows. [Skip this step if you are installing on
Windows XP.] To install this service pack, run the installation file
VS80sp1-KB932232-X86-ENU.exe
which is your downloaded copy of Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista.
Complete the next section to edit the System Path variable.
Editing the System PATH environment variable
This section gives detailed instructions for editing the Windows system path variable. You must complete this section in order for Release
10 Source-code GEMPACK to work with Intel Visual Fortran 10.1.
Open the System Properties dialogue as follows:
If you are running Windows XP
You can right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties | Advanced | Environment Variables"
and then select the Path System Environment variable, click Edit, and follow the instructions below to change its value.
If you are running Windows Vista
You will need administrator access.
Select in turn: Control panel | Classic view | System | Advanced system settings | Environment Variables
and then select the Path System Environment variable, click Edit, and follow the instructions below to change its value.
Make sure that you edit the lower "System variables" panel, not the upper "User variables" panel.
The change you need to make to the Path variable value depends on which version of the compiler you have installed.
32-bit installations. Users who installed the 32-bit (IA-32) compiler will find the following string in the variable value field
(perhaps at the end):
;%IFORT_COMPILER10%\IA32\Lib
Using the mouse select and copy this string (including the semi-colon), and then paste a copy after the Lib. On the new copy change Lib to become
Bin (only edit the new copy of Lib). Your path field should then contain this string
64-bit installations. Users who installed the 64 bit (Intel(R) 64 also known as EM64T) compiler will find the following string
in the variable value field (perhaps at the end):
;%IFORT_COMPILER10%\em64t\Lib
Using the mouse select and copy this string, and then paste a copy after the Lib, then on the new copy change Lib to become Bin (only edit the
new copy of Lib). Your path field should then end like this
Click Ok to accept the changes, and Ok again to close the Environment Variables and System Properties dialogues.
"Hello World" test for Intel Fortran 10.1
You can test your installation of Intel Fortran as follows. Right click and choose "Save Link As" or "Save Target As" depending on your browser,
to save the small program hello.for into a temporary folder, say C:\test. When compiled and executed this program will
write "Hello World" to the terminal. Next, open a command prompt in the C:\test folder (containing hello.for). To test the installation, type the
following commands.
The first command, ifortvars, sets up the environment for the compiler, and will not work if you have not correctly edited the system path as
described above. The second command, ifort hello.for, compiles the executable program hello.exe. And the third command, hello, runs the hello.exe
program which will write the words "Hello World" to the terminal. If you see "Hello World" then your compiler installation is working.
Other Comments
When Intel Visual Fortran 10.1 is installed by following the above procedure, either the 32-bit or 64-bit compiler is installed; you must select
the same compiler during the GEMPACK installation. If you want to change the compiler that GEMPACK works with, you need to partially reinstall
your Intel Fortran to include the other choice of compiler. Next, modify the system path variable to reflect your new choice of compiler. Then
reinstall GEMPACK (Release 10.0-000 or later). Note that GEMPACK with IF64 (Intel Fortran 64-bit) will only work if you are using 64-bit Windows.
