vtune: Error: Option 'platform-type' received value from the next argument

[Allen_Long]

I clicked Start collection on the UI, and the collection process ended immediately, with the error shown in the screenshot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I tried to use the command line and failed, as shown below

C:\Windows\system32>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\vtune\2024.2\bin64\vtune" -collect hotspots --target-process *********.exe
vtune: Error: Option 'platform-type' received value from the next argument: '--target-process', but it seems to be an option. Use '-option=value' declaration form or make sure that value is not missed
vtune: Warning: Microarchitecture performance insights will not be available. Make sure the sampling driver is installed and enabled on your system.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The "runss.options'' file seems to have a syntax that appears to be malformed.This file will affect the next phase of data collection.

I try 'runsa.cfg' and 'runss.cfg' file to affect the generation of 'runss.options' file, the result can be used normally, but this is certainly not the right solution. I want to ask the correct solution should be done?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is my infomation.

vtune version:

Intel(R) VTune(TM) Profiler 2024.2.0 (build 628218)

Please tell me how to configure VTune to collect data normally.

Thank you all!

It is probably because the processor can't be recognized, so the platform-type is not specified. You can run the self-check utility to double-check if there are some 'processor not recognized' errors reported in the output?

[Allen_Long]

I ran the vtune-self-checker.bat tool and it did output 'processor not recognized'.

This is part of the output log:

This is one known issue, which will be fixed in the coming 2024.2.1 release.

[Allen_Long]

I understand. Thank you.
