VTune: Unable to run app that requires admin privilege

[Numerator]

My app requires admin privilege to run, but I am unable to start it from VTune, even if VTune is run standalone in admin mode or run from Visual Studio 2019.  

C:\Users\user\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\ImageViewers\app\x64\Release\app.exe' cannot be executed. Suggestion: Make sure the file exists, specified location is correct, and you have privileges to run the file.

The app is linked with 

/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /MANIFESTUAC:"level='requireAdministrator' uiAccess='false'"

Windows x64

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Intel forums.

We will check on this internally and let you know.

Hi,

From your question we could understand that you are not able to open application from vtune with and without admin privilege. Are you able to run the application individually with admin privilege?

Yes.  My app runs standalone with admin privileges.

Hi,

In your first post you have mentioned that you tried in Visual studio. We have to recreate the issue to find the cause so could you share us the command line from linker?

In Visual studio you can find it from Project->Properties->Linker->Command Line

Hi,

Thanks for the update.

We tried a sample in visual studio by setting admin privilege with the same linker settings but we didn't face any issues. We got a pop-up while running the sample from visual studio which is to open visual studio in admin privilege. Below I have attached the screenshot of the pop-up.

Try to build or profile matrix sample which comes with visual studio or vtune by setting admin privilege and let us know the updates.

Before trying that kindly share the reproducer so that in meantime we can try it from our side.

Hi,

Did you try the matrix sample? Do you have any update?

I confirm that the matrix example in release x64, admin mode works.

Hi,

Thanks for the update.

So Vtune/Visual studio works fine. Then it might be your sample's issue. If you share the reproducer we can try from our end and check if the issue is with vtune or with the sample.

Would you be able to share the reproducer with us?

Yes.  I will make a test case.

For reasons I am not aware of, my app runs in Vtune now.  Issue is resolved.
