Profrun error 127

[Jason_G]

Hi there,
I'm trying to use profrun for the first time with a Windows exectable that had .dyn files collected, and is rebuilt with gen sampling data etc following the procedure for including SSP Helper threading optimization. I'm uncertain whether this is an ICC or Vtune driver issue at this point. I get this when up to the first profrun step:

"profrun: Cannot locate API routine VTStartSampling: Windows error 127: The specified procedure could not be found.
You must install the Intel VTune Performance Analyzer in order to use this tool."

I've been using ICC 10.1.021 over VS2005wSP1, and Vtune 9.0 build 719 for creating call graphs and gathering sampling data, (so I know that's installed and functioning)

I've checked the access rights for profiling, and checked the "requirements for profrum utility" document.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

I'm running into this same issue. What was the resolution?

I'd thought some path-issue perhaps, but this even happens when running profrun from the intel command-prompt.

Thanks,
Matt

In support, 'Reproduced' ---> 'Escalated' ---> Nothing Since....

Wow, that's reassuring.

I just noticed a new version of VTune, so I'll try that when it's done downloading.


Thanks,
Matt

Yes ... Please let me know if you have any luck with this, there are other queries I've been wanting to raise with support but am hesitant to do so. Any outcome at this level of technicality likely applies to the largest projects by nature of its application, and will substantially impact future decision-making processes related to platform development, and the amount of trust that can be ascribed to the written documentation.

I've been told this will be fixed in VTune 9.1. I was not told when this would be released.

Thanks very much,
Is that official? I should expect some sort of official reply in my premier support issue with details then?

I think it's official. My issue has a status "to be fixed." I would ping your support issue, and reference mine: #507881.
