Visual Studio – How to Install Intel Fortran Compiler

compilevisual studiovisual studio 2015

First I install Ms Visual Studio Community 2017 from oficial site.
That Works fine.

Next I install IntelĀ® Parallel Studio XE Cluster Edition (includes Fortran and C/C++) from Intel Developer Zone Site. At that site was a free offer the tool for students.

The installation was installed the next softwares:

Intel Parallel Studio XE 2017

But when I try to create a new Fortran Project I didn't find the option on the Visual Studio Community 2017.

New Project on Visual Studio Community 2017

Then I search on internet about this issue and I found this article:Troubleshooting Fortran Integration Issues with Visual Studio
Which says:

If you are using Intel Parallel Studio XE 2017 (compiler version
17.0), Visual Studio versions 2012, 2013 and 2015 are supported.

So I tried to download the Ms Visual Studio Community 2015 but I can't.
Microsoft web site only offer Visual Studio Community 2017 nowadays.

I want to build Fortran or C/C++ Project using Math Kernel Library or Blas, Linpack or Lapack.
What can I do?
Is there a way to resolve this integration issue, Should I find a VS Community 2015 or maybe Should I try GNU-GCC compiler but in this case how use the LINPACK?

At that time, the solution was to install the VS Community 2015, like @Ramhound commented and after reinstalling the Intel Parallel Studio XE 2017. Currently, Intel Parallel Studio XE 2018 supports Visual Studio 2017.

But in the future, this problem could repeat then the next are steps for install the latest Visual Studio supported by the Intel Parallel Studio XE.

  1. First, check out the version of Visual Studio that is supported by the Intel Parallel Studio XE available. You can check at this site Troubleshooting Fortran Integration Issues with Microsoft Visual Studio*

  2. Install the Visual Studio supported by the Intel Parallel Studio XE that you're going to install. If the supported version of Visual Studio isn't the latest one, you can download a older version from VS older downloads

  3. Finally, install the Parallel Studio XE.
