Any way to install ifort without installing visual studio previously in Windows?
<p>I was drawn crazy this several days to make ifort work in my windows Os. Everytime I installed <code>Ms visual studio</code> firstly and then installed ifort as suggested, I could not find ifort when I was trying to build in the visual studio. What's more, if I ignore the visual studio and solely install ifort, the complier will complain during compiling compland throw me error message like</p>

<pre><code>could not find 'link'
</code></pre>

<p>I do numerous searching for the solution but none works. Some suggest I can adjust the parallel studio setting, but I didn't find parallel in the ifort folder. </p>
