Vtune 7.2 Uninstall Failed on windows XP

[Zhiqiang_Y_Intel]

Hi,

I found error when using VTune 7.2, so Idecide to reinstall it to my system. However, when I try to uninstall the VTune 7.2, the following error occur:

"Error 1327. Invalid dtrive: P:".Then I try to remove it manually.

Remove the key "Inter corporation"Vtune Peformance Envrionment" under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_User in the registry, and then reinstall the VTune 7.2, The same error occur.

Does anyone know how to walkaround this to reinstall the VTune 7.2?

The VTune version I am using is 7.2 (w_vt_p_7.2.034),

My OS is Windows XP.

In general, it is bad news to try to edit the registry to remove the VTune analyzer. I never recommend doing that. I always recommend sticking with the uninstall.

Regarding the error during the uninstall, did you install the analyzer on P: originally? Is P: a network mapped drive? (The VTune analyzer cannot be used from a networked drive, which may explain your original problem.) Was P: mapped when you attempted the uninstall?

Hi, DaveA

Thanks much for your help. You are right, this error is caused by network mapped drive. Originally I installed the vtune via network.

When I map a network(which contains installation package of Vtune) to P:,the vtune is repaired successfully.I think that is a bug of Windows Installer.

Now the VTune is reinstalled, and everything is OK. :-)
