VTune does not find library libifcoremd.dll

[Alessandro_D_]

I am using Vtune 2024.0 in visual studio. The code compiles and runs ok but when I try to run the Intel Vtune profiler, I get the error message

"The code execution cannot proceed because libifcoremd.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem" 

Please see also the attached screenshots. Can someone please advise me on how to solve this problem? The promt suggests reinstalling the program, but which program? Do I have to reinstall the whole intel oneapi base and HPC toolkit??

Thanks!

What I have seen sometimes is that the system PATH environment variable is not updated to point to the location where the DLLS are. I've also seen that PATH is updated but Windows doesn't see it until a reboot or you log out and in again.

So, the first thing I suggest is reboot. If that doesn't help, click the Windows Start button, type "cmd" (without the quotes) and open the Command Prompt app. Type the command "set PATH" (again, no quotes). Look at what is displayed and see if it contains:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\bin32
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\compiler\latest\bin

If it doesn't, uninstall and reinstall the HPC Toolkit. It may be easier to just install the 2024.1 version, which is current.

I followed these steps but issue remains. When I run "set PATH" in cmd nothing changes after re installing HPC Toolkit.

"set PATH" doesn't change anything - it was a diagnostic step.

 I meant that after re installing, I run "set PATH" and the directory list did not change.

I suggest you then add the two paths I mentioned above to the PATH environment variable. Let me know if you don't know how to do this.

I added the path and it works, thanks!
