VTune Amplifier XE 2016 Update 3 crashes upon startup - Please help ASAP

[Rohan_G_]

Hello.

This issue is driving me crazy.

I have installed VTune Amplifier XE 2016 update 3 on my Windows 8.1 x64 machine and it crashes every time I start-up the GUI.

Installing older versions of the software hasn't helped either.

I have attached the entire temp folder including all log files so that you can figure out what's going wrong.

Please help me ASAP as I am working against a deadline on my current project and I need the Intel software to work on my machine.

Thanks,

Rohan.

Hello.

Disabling Hyper V didn't help either.

Please help!

Hello Rohan,

Can you please run below command from <VTune install dir>/bin64 and see if it produces any output or also crashes?

amplxe-runss.exe --context-value-list

Please also collect detailed bug report and e-mail it ekaterina.logovskaya@intel.com.

Hello Ekterina.

Okay, I got it to generate a detailed error report - had to run the command prompt as administrator.

I'll email you that report file.

Hello Ekterina.

Just for the record:

After offline conversation with Rohan he upgraded to the VTune Amplifier 2017 release and confirmed the problem is resvoled in the new version.
