Hi, I've got a problem FORTRAN breaking on me.
1) The linker started giving COFF invalid format error on trying to create a DLL, this used to work. I'm suspecting recent automated Windows updates (I work for Siemens), but don't really know the cause. I'm using compiler 2011.6.233
2) A Forum post suggested installing VS2010 SP1 which I did, but it fails because file shell_patch.msi is missing. So I'm now in a limbo with a part-updated VS2010.
3) I think the advice was to install compiler Update 7, and while I was allowed to download it, I can't install it as my license has expired.
4) A related post on Stackoverflow advised turning off incremental linking, this allowed me to create the DLL, but a call to the DLL from within Excel VBA now fails on error 48, "file not found". This message seems to be due to problems within the DLL I tried to diagnose using Dependency Walker, but couldn't really find the issue.
I think the problem is due to the incompletely updated system (missing shell_patch.msi), but I don't know how to proceed. can anyone help?
