Hi,

Your best bet is probably the contribution from a user noted in the
FAQ

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/docs/faq.html#windows_netcdf4_1

which says:

  NOTE: User Viet Eitner has contributed a port of 4.1.1 to Visual
  Studio, including an F90 port to Intel Fortran. Download source
  
(ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-4.1.1-win32-src.zip)
  or binary
  
(ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-4.1.1-win32-bin.zip)
  versions. This port was done before the code was refactored in
  4.1.2.
