HV: don't use the QPA!!

Just use the Sampling wizard and see if it doesn't work better!

Ihave used theSampling wizard too.

it gives the same result

In my case the reason was cyrillic username, so VTune cannot manage it's own files into Documents and SettingsCyrillicUserName directory.

Hello1!!

Im dealing with the same issue right now, so, you say that the name was the problem ?, what did you change to solve it ?. Is it a configuration issue ??

Thanks in advance

Hello again!!!

I already solve it, what I did it is to change an with a e in path name when saving the project. and then Vtune uses the new path in all new projects.

Thanks anyway

We've encountered similar problem. The solution is to create projects in writable folder (check user rights), and the project path must contain english characters only.
