not a valid Win32 application...

Developer Tools Nsight Visual Studio Edition
1

hello,

I am using Nsight Visual Studio Edition 3.1 (VS ultimate, update 3) and receive the following error:

%1 is not a valid Win32 application (System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception)

I read through the User Guide, but did not find any reference to this error.

about my project, it uses XAML/C# and target platform is currently x86; however, I will also be targeting the Tegra 3 device on the Surface RT (ARM). But I want to first get familiar with nsight, simply using my desktop (currently using 326.41 drivers as provided by your links). This “windows store app” basically creates a frame for the XAML/C# portion, then sets up a SwapChainBackgroundPanel in which Unity (game engine) hooks DirectX.

I’ve tried compiling debug and release; however, i receive same error when attempting to start graphics debugging.

Nsight system info explorer provides great details and the nsight monitor is running fine.

Am I just attempting to do something that is not possible?

Bumping this since I am having the exact same problem with the latest version of Nsight (4.0) using Visual Studio 2013.

Hi,

any news here? This is blocking us as well…

My .exe is a C++/CLI .NET 4.5.1 x64/Debug application, the dlls to debug with NSight are x64 Plain-C++ dlls compiled with VS2010 (v100 Platform toolset).

NSight 4.0.0.14142 / VS Ultimate 2013 12.0.30501.00 Update 2

Regards,
Lars

Same issue for me:

  • NSight 4.1;
  • Visual Studio 2013 Ulitmate Update 3;
  • Application in C# .Net 4.5 using OpenTK.

Hi,

Nsight don’t support .Net App officially. But you can build your .Net app in x86, x64, AnyCPU, and take a try, that might be work, anyhow, managed app is not support officially.

Thanks
