NVTX Library: Getting it from the CUDA Toolkit windows download source

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Setup and Installation
1

I am using 7za — A file archiver to extract the local installer from https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/9.2/Prod2/local_installers/cuda_9.2.148_win10 to my machine.

When inspecting the extracted files, I realized that I am missing NvToolsExt. The documentation on NVToolsExt (https://docs.nvidia.com/gameworks/content/developertools/desktop/nsight/nvtx_library.htm) states:

[b]The NVTX API is installed by the NVIDIA Nsight “host” installer (by default) into the following location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\nvToolsExt
[/b]

I was wondering whether it is possible to work out a way of getting it from the download source?

Hi Axbanihirwe,

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I am finding when running the silent installer with everything but the Nvidia driver selected that it’s not giving me the NVTX libraries in the CUDA\v10.1\include folder. However, when running it manually through the UI, I get it just fine. I am selecting all the subpackages except for the driver, so not sure what I am missing.
