Notes for the Windows (32-bit) Platform

1. Intel compilers depend on tools provided by Microsoft development products. The following combinations are supported by MATLAB and Simulink related products:
   
   

   Intel Compilers on Microsoft Windows		Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Professional Edition (32-bit)	Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell (32-bit)	Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 SP1 Professional Edition (32-bit)
   Compiler	Version	9.0	9.0	8.0
   Intel C++	11.1	√
   	9.1			√
   Intel Visual Fortran	11.1	√	√
   	10.1			√

   Access to the 2005 SP1 edition is available from Microsoft as part of their Visual Studio with MSDN subscriptions. You should use the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell that is bundled with certain Intel Visual Fortran packages.
2. Support for this version of this compiler will be discontinued in a future release, at which time a new version will be supported.
3. To build .NET components, a Microsoft .NET Framework must be installed. The .NET Framework v3.0 does not contain a framework-specific compiler; compatible components can be built using the v2.0 compiler. The .NET Framework is automatically installed by Visual Studio 2005 or 2008. It can also be downloaded from the Microsoft Web site. To execute applications that use the resulting .NET components, the target machine must have the matching .NET Framework installed.
4. MATLAB Builder NE supports building .NET Assemblies but not COM objects when using the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK without Microsoft Visual Studio.
5. When using C++, MATLAB and related products rely on the availability of exception handling in the C++ language. Because these compilers do not properly support C++ exception handling, our support for exception handling is limited. You can find more information in Solution 1-4OKNSV.
6. Open Watcom is supported for use in C/C++ only; Open Watcom Fortran is not supported.
7. Includes compilers supported by Fixed-Point Toolbox and SimBiology.
8. Includes compilers supported by Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder and Stateflow Coder.
9. Fortran compilers are supported with Simulink only for creating Simulink S-functions using the MATLAB MEX command. The S-functions can be used with normal and accelerated simulations.
10. xPC Target supports Fortran code in Simulink models using C-MEX wrapper S-functions.
11. Microsoft Visual Studio Express Edition, when used with these products, also requires the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK). For more information on installing Express Edition, see Solution 1-BYZCYZ.
