Intel(R) Visual Fortran 11.0 is supported by GEMPACK Release 10.0-001 and later. Check that you have the correct GEMPACK release before installing
Intel Visual Fortran 11.0.
Please print out and read this page before beginning the installation procedure. This procedure is for installing Intel Visual Fortran 11.0 for
both IA-32[1]and Intel(R) 64[2] applications with Microsoft
Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition [3] under Windows. For 64-bit Source-code GEMPACK installations you must be
using a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows.
For the installation you should have the following:
The Intel Visual Fortran install executable from Intel:
w_cprof_p_11.0.xxx.exe (approx. 591 MB)
which you either downloaded or have on CD.
[“xxx” is the update number – for example "072" which means version 11.0.072.]
Your Intel Fortran licence file or serial number.
The Intel Visual Fortran for Windows Installation Guide and Release Notes.
[w_cprof_p_11.0.xxx_Release_Notes_en_US.pdf]
(Recommended for XP installations, and compulsory for Vista and Windows 7 and later Windows versions)
Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1 VS80sp1-KB926601-X86-ENU.exe
(approx. 432 MB)
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_cprof_p_11.0.xxx.exe install program.
Click through the installation procedure accepting the default settings. When you reach the "Activation Options" dialogue you will need to use
your serial number or licence file. To use a licence file select the 3rd option "Choose alternative activation".
After activation you reach the "Choose Installation Type" dialogue where the choice you are presented with is Full installation or Custom
Installation. Select Custom Installation and click Next.
On the "Choose a Destination Folder" dialogue click Next to accept the default destination.
On the "Select Components to Install" dialogue un-select the Intel(R) Math Kernel Library. Do this by clicking on the grey box beside Intel(R)
Math Kernel Library and select the red X option.

The dialogue window should now look like figure 2.
Figure 2: Component selection for Intel Fortran 11.0
Click Next to continue.
Click Next to accept the default choices on the "Configuration Options" dialogue, and likewise on the following "Update System Path" dialogue.
Click Install on the "Installation Summary" dialogue.
Vista and Windows7 installations only. [Go on to point 8 if not using Vista.] If you are installing under Vista or Windows7 you may see during
the installation the warning message in Figure 3 below, or similar
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.
Finally you will see the "Installation Complete" dialogue reporting a successful installation. Click Finish to exit the install program.
Installation of the Visual Studio service pack is compulsory for installations on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and later Windows, and is
recommended for Windows XP. 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.
Vista and Windows 7 installations only. Installation of a second Visual Studio service pack is compulsory on Windows Vista and Windows7. [Skip
this step if you are installing on Windows XP.] To install this service pack on Vista or Windows7, 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.
Now complete the next section "Editing the System PATH environment 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
Source-code GEMPACK to work with Intel Visual Fortran 11.0.
Open the System Properties dialogue as follows:
If you are running Windows Vista, Windows 7 or later
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.
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 upgrading ...
If you are upgrading to Intel Visual Fortran 11.0 from Intel Visual Fortran 10.1 or 10.0 you do not need to uninstall the old version but you must
make sure that you remove the appropriate "Bin" folder from the system path as follows. If you are not upgrading from version 10 then skip on to
the next paragraph. Edit the system path variable. To remove the 32-bit "Bin" folder from the path locate and delete the string
%IFORT_COMPILER10%\IA32\Bin; . To remove the 64-bit "Bin" folder from the path locate and delete the string
%IFORT_COMPILER10%\EM64T\bin; . Make sure you leave a semi-colon separating the remaining entries.
Completing the installation of Intel Fortran 11 ...
To complete the installation you must add the %IFORT_COMPILER11%Bin folder to the system path variable (this will add both the
32-bit and 64-bit compilers to the path). One method of doing this is as follows. Find the string %IFORT_COMPILER11%lib\ia32; in
the system path variable value field, probably at the left-hand end:
Make sure that you edit the lower "System variables" panel, not the upper "User variables" panel.
Using the mouse select and copy this string (including the semi-colon), and then paste a copy after the ...ia32; . On the new
copy delete lib\ia32 and replace with Bin (only edit the new copy). Your path variable should then contain this
string %IFORT_COMPILER11%lib\ia32;%IFORT_COMPILER11%Bin;
Entries in the path string must be separated by a semi-colon, so check that you have a semi-colon either side of the new string. Click Ok to
accept the changes, and Ok again to close the Environment Variables and System Properties dialogues.
Other Comments
When Intel Visual Fortran 11.0 is installed by following the above procedure both 32-bit and 64-bit programs may be compiled, however GEMPACK will
only use the one you specify during the GEMPACK installation. If you want to change the compiler that GEMPACK works with you need to reinstall
GEMPACK Source-code (Release 10.0-001 or later) again. Note that during the GEMPACK install IF64 (Intel Fortran 64-bit) is only available if you
are using 64-bit Windows.
"Hello World" test for Intel Fortran 11.0
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 32-bit installation,
type the following commands.
The first command, ifortvars ia32 (or ifortvars intel64), 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.
