In Visual Studio 2022, how to add Fortran compiler? Please help.

Ghazal, Omar 0

Hello, To help patients with their radiation therapy and medical scans, please help me run this old Fortran program in my Windows 10, 64 bit. Background: According to its documentation, this old Fortran program used to run in Visual Studio 2005. I cannot find that old version of Visual Studio. Microsoft only provides the latest, Visual Studio 2022. This new version has no Fortran compiler. Specifically, the documentation requires this: Fortran compiler 10.1.011 [IA-32]. If you can help me, please do. Thank you Omar

Hello @Ghazal, Omar, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Here’s the direct link for downloading VS 2005. For Fortran compiler, you may check if Fortran compiler 10.1.011 [IA-32] is still available, with Intel.

Please kindly check @RLWA32 ’s answer.

Feel free to let us know if you have any further concerns. Regards,

Tianyu

@Tianyu Sun-MSFT Visual Studio 2005 (non-express versions) will require a license and product key. Does Microsoft still sell licenses for the VS2005 product or is a paid subscription needed? Does the VS2005 download include a 30 day Trial period? This information may be important to the Questioner's decision-making.

@RLWA32 , I can’t 100% confirm if VS 2005 (non-express versions) is still sold(retail), as it’s a very old version and is out of support. I think the key/subscription is required for non-express versions. The Get Key option shows following information (test with Visual Studio Dev Essentials subscription):

This product is offered to this subscription level as a trial license only. If you have purchased this product at retail you can install and register using the credentials you acquired at retail. Alternatively, you can install this product as a trial and/or upgrade your Visual Studio subscription at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/subscriptions.

And cloud subscriptions do include the earlier versions of VS for PC, for example:

Old versions of Visual Studio are available if you have a Visual Studio Subscription. You can download a spreadsheet from Microsoft to see what versions of software are available with the different subscription levels. Refer to What software is available for download?. A Fortran compiler was never offered as a component of Visual Studio. You should check with Intel to determine if its Intel Fortran 10.1.011 (IA-32) compiler is still available and how you can obtain it if you are able to obtain Visual Studio 2005. Otherwise you may need to migrate your application to a modern version of Fortran that is compatible with current versions of Visual Studio.
