project creation failed - Visual Studio 2010

[ahunt191]

I installedIntel SDK for OpenCL* Applications 2012 and I am having a problem creating a new OpenCL project in Visual Studio 2010. I followed the instructions located here:http://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/opencl/user-guide/Creating_new_OpenCL_Project_Template.htm. At the bottom of my window, I see this message: "Creating project 'OpenCLProject1'... project creation failed". This is a fresh installation of Windows 7 Ultimate, Visual Studio 2010 Pro (complete installation) and the OpenCL SDK. I have no problem creating other projects. Any help debugging this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

Can you please provide the Windows version that youre using (32-bit or 64-bit) and the SDK version (32/64) that you installed?

Thanks,
Uri

Both Windows and the SDK are 64-bit. To make sure I had everything installed properly, I downloaded the OpenCL samples. I can open, compile and run all of the samples in VS 2010.

Thanks,

To work with the plug-in on 64-bit OS, Microsoft Visual Studio must be configured for 64-bit applications, including 64-bit compiler and tools (stated in our release notes).
Can you please make sure that the required software is installed?

Thanks,
Uri

When I installed VS2010, I installed the 64 bit libs and compiler. I found these instructions on how to configure a project for 64-bit.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9yb4317s(v=vs.100).aspx

The problem is the instructions assume you can create a project. Unfortunately, I can't.

I tried to get some information from the VS log, but I don't see anything that can help. The only entries that mention of Intel or OCL are these three.

Thanks again for your help.

I have the same problem with Intel SDK for OpenCL+ Applications 2012 (64-bit) on a 64-bit Windows machine and Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. The OpenCL-project can't be created from the template.

I installed everything fresh (OS, VS2010, OCL SDK) and was able to reproduce this issue. I will get back to you on a possible solution/workaround soon.

Thanks,

Please replace the line:
Wizard=VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.9.0
with this line:
Wizard=VsWizard.VsWizardEngine.10.0
In the file OpenCLProj.vsz located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcprojects\OpenCL".
This should fix that issue.
This fix will be included in the next Intel SDK for OpenCL+ Applications release.

Best Regards,
Oded
