Can't build samples on Win 7 x64, MSVC 2008

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance

Hello, I’m a newbie in CUDA world, please help.
Just got gtx 470, install CUDA 3.0 with the last official drivers, but can’t compile any CUDA program and the error seems to be this: “–name: No such file or directory”. Where that “–name” come from?

have you got an answer?

My error is the same: ( but on win 7, x64 )

F: is pretty unusual for a Windows system drive, and might have something to do with the problem you are having. Can you explain why it’s F: and not C:?

The error was fixed after I upgrade to CUDA 3.1. I highly doubt that the problem was in the drive letter.
Why F?.. I added a new disk and made it a system one, but it ends for some reason “F”. And there is no way any more the letter to be changed… At least I don’t know one… I had problems only with some installation which by default unzip their files on c:\ and leave them there.
