Hello,
After installing Intel 2017 Update 1 on machines having Visual Studio 2013 and 2015 and Intel 2015 Update 5, some of our FORTRAN projects give error 8110 while linking, but only in 32 bit configuration. We have tracked down that the setting for Executables under Tools -> Options -> Intel Compilers and Tools -> Visual Fortran -> Compilers have an influence. Before installing Intel 2017 Update 1 and VS 2015, the setting for Executables on the Win32 tab had ia32 in it. After installing Intel 2017 Update 1 and VS 2015 in has Intel64 in it. However, under Libraries it still says ia32_win.
If we change the setting to contain ia32 rather than Intel 64 the problem goes away. Actually after doing so we cannot make the setting stay at Intel64. It flips back to ia32 after each restart of VS2013.
However, it is suspicious that it says Intel64 on the Win32 tab under executables (and not under Libraries). In VS2015 it also says Intel64 in the same place sp VS2015 and 2013 look the same in that respect.
Is it a bug that it says Intel64 in the Win32 tab in VS2013, or even in VS2015 after installation of Intel 2017 Update 1?
Is the correct setting ia32 or Intel 64? We all have 64 bit Windows installed, primarily Windows 7 SP 1 with full Windows Updates.
Apart from the issue with the setting, any hint to the actual error 8110? It is a linker error saying that what it tries to link to was compiled for a different platform or by an incompatible compiler release. We did full Clean Solution to make sure no old stuff is hanging.
I hope someone can help or guide.
Regards,
Henrik
