.net 4.5 support

TimP — Wed, 22 May 2013 15:19:32 GMT

I am visiting a site which purchased 4 copies of VTune, intending to work with .net 4.5. According to release notes, VTune supports only up to 4.0. When attempting to analyze collected data, we got the message about not finding CLR 4.0 on the system, although clearly events are collected from the CLR and .net .dlls.

Is support for .net 4.5 planned?

We will post a feature request on premier.

I just checked my notebook with Windows 7 Professional and it has .NET version 4.0. VTune ( Update 5 ) works on it without any problems. Please try to run Windows Update because it "forces" to use a right version of .NET. Also, downloads.microsoft.com should have different versions of .NET as standalone downloads.

We had better success when we disabled .net 4.5 dependent features and rebuilt with .net 4.0.

Apparently, it is possible, in simple cases, for recent VTune versions to run with .net 4.5. The support team is helping us look into it.

For example, the sample case which comes with VTune can be compiled on command line and profiled, but there isn't much to see, as it runs under 10 milliseconds. I couldn't build it from the supplied project file, even by opening up under VS2008, when VS2012 is also present.

Intel documentation refers to .net apparently as a synonym for C#.

>>...We had better success when we disabled .net 4.5 dependent features and rebuilt with .net 4.0... I checked two more computers and I don't see any signs for .NET version 4.5. Even Add and Remove programs applet from Control Panel doesn't show any .NET installations above version 4.0. >>Intel documentation refers to .net apparently as a synonym for C#. I don't think this is a proper statement in docs because C# is a language and .NET is a set of technologies.

Thanks, but that stackoverflow thread seems to indicate an even higher degree of confusion.

It does seem that logging out subsequent to updating of VS and VTune may have helped.

The parallel nqueens C# sample project supplied with VTune is rejected by Visual Studio as not a supported project type. The source file compiles and runs OK from command line.

TimP — Sat, 25 May 2013 13:25:14 GMT

In my efforts, the VS2012 extreme reported successful conversion of the parallel nqueens C# project but then said it was not an acceptable project.

I'm not certain whether the presence of VS2012 was interfering with my effort to try that project under VS2008; it did look like the project supplied with current VTune was intended for VS2008 (the oldest Visual Studio supported by current Intel tools).

The customer appeared possibly to encounter some similar issue with VTune not seeing all Visual Studio components of the same release.

The .net 4.5 feature which is new since 4.0 and not supported by VTune is sync API. This should be documented more correctly in the next update.

Microsoft installers are very robust and I could suggest to run Repair or full Install again. A case when Intel installer breaks some relations between Microsoft components needs to be proved and more technical details are needed.
