I have compiled the cutil project in my SDK folder, and im getting these errors in every CUDA project i try to run. I have the custom build rules set, and i dont even know why im getting these errors. People seem to have run into this problem before and i didnt find any real solution.

Im running in Vista 64-bit, using VS2005 Professional.

Any help would be excellent!

Try building the 64-bit target.

Thanks for the reply. That worked, i can now COMPILE the project
For some reason VS didnt initially install the x64 debugger…

However, now that i can build the projects, how come its not producing an .exe for me to run/test

thanks again

sorry, didnt pay enough attention to the project i was compiling, it doesnt produce exe so problem solved!

thanks again
