Compatibility Issue for Visual Studio 2019

Developer Tools Nsight Visual Studio Edition
1

Howdy,

Our IT department tried to help me to install CUDA Toolkit 12.0 in my desktop. However, he failed. The error message showed that “it fails at installing nsight visual studio”. Could anyone tell me whether there is any compatibility issue between CUDA Toolkit 12.0 and Visual Studio 2019 (16.10.4)?

Here is some information regarding my computer:
OS: Windows 10
GPU: Nvidia Quadro 1200M
GPU Driver Version: 528.89
Visual Studio Version: Visual Studio 2019, 16.10.4

Thank you for reading it and look forward to your reply,

Jonathan Chu

Is the entire CUDA Toolkit installation failing or are you just missing the Visual Studio integration? If the other parts of the CUDA Toolkit are installed successfully, can you try installing just Nsight Visual Studio Edition, available from the product page Nsight Visual Studio Edition 2023.1 Download | NVIDIA Developer and let me know what happens? If the whole toolkit isn’t installed, you should be able to uncheck the VSE portion at install time to get an install without it.

Thank you for your quick reply.

According to the error message, it looks like this might be one of the main reason to cause failure. However, if my memory is correct, there were some other parts that are not installed successfully (I am sorry that I did not record them since the installation job was taken care by our IT department).
I just suggested the IT to update my Visual Studio 2019 to the latest version, then, give another try.
Will reflect the situation if there is any update.

Thank you for your great help,

Jonathan Chu

One thing to note - we dropped Maxwell support with VS2022 so you won’t be able to debug Maxwell cards with 2022. I don’t believe the VS version is causing the issue you’re seeing.

Howdy,

As a new learner who first contacts CUDA, I have no comments to this.

On the other hand, our IT department helped me to install the software successfully after update my Visual Studio 2019 to the latest version.

Thank you,
