I followed the steps of some sort of tutorial articles on the internet, installed vs 2019 and cuda 11.1, then I tried to run the samples, somehow I got a error:

D:\Visual Studio 2019\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\BuildCustomizations\CUDA 11.1.targets(785,9): error MSB3721: command ““D:\CUDA development\bin\nvcc.exe” -gencode=arch=compute\_35,code="sm\_35,compute\_35" -gencode=arch=compute\_37,code="sm\_37,compute\_37" -gencode=arch=compute\_50,code="sm\_50,compute\_50" -gencode=arch=compute\_52,code="sm\_52,compute\_52" -gencode=arch=compute\_60,code="sm\_60,compute\_60" -gencode=arch=compute\_61,code="sm\_61,compute\_61" -gencode=arch=compute\_70,code="sm\_70,compute\_70" -gencode=arch=compute\_75,code="sm\_75,compute\_75" -gencode=arch=compute\_80,code="sm\_80,compute\_80" -gencode=arch=compute\_86,code="sm\_86,compute\_86" --use-local-env -ccbin “D:\Visual Studio 2019\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.28.29333\bin\HostX86\x64” -x cu -I./ -I…/…/common/inc -I./ -I"D:\CUDA development/include" -I…/…/common/inc -I"D:\CUDA development\include" -G --keep-dir x64\Debug -maxrregcount=0 --machine 64 --compile -cudart static -Xcompiler “/wd 4819” -g -DWIN32 -DWIN32 -D\_MBCS -D\_MBCS -Xcompiler "/EHsc /W3 /nologo /Od /Fdx64/Debug/vc142.pdb /FS /Zi /RTC1 /MTd " -o x64/Debug/asyncAPI.cu.obj “D:\CUDA samples\0\_Simple\asyncAPI\asyncAPI.cu”” has exited, return code 1。

went to search a lot, just can’t find a way to solve it, :(
