value is used to initialize this property.
When using one of the :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` with the Intel Fortran
plugin installed in Visual Studio, a subdirectory named after the
configuration will be appended to the path where modules are created.
For example, if ``Fortran_MODULE_DIRECTORY`` is set to ``C:/some/path``,

``C:/some/path/Release`` etc.) when an Intel Fortran ``.vfproj`` file is
generated, and in ``C:/some/path`` when any other generator is used.
Note that some compilers will automatically search the module output
directory for modules USEd during compilation but others will not. If
your sources USE modules their location must be specified by
