Instrumentation fails with error VSP1033

Question

I want to profile an application in "Instrumentation" mode using the Profile Wizard in VS 2010 Ultimate SP1, but the instrumentation fails with the following error messages:

Die Profilerstellung wurde gestartet.
C:\Users\taschna\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\gnuplot\gnuplot_VS2010\wgnuplot\Debug\wgnuplot.exe wird direkt instrumentiert.

Please help me find the reason for this strange (and undocumented) error.

Thanks,

Alexander

Answer 1

Can you launch your application by double-click the wgnuplot.exe file? Because the error

 

VSP1033 error: The file "C: \ Users \ taschna \ Documents \ Visual Studio 2010 \ Projects \ \ gnuplot gnuplot_VS2010 \ wgnuplot \ Debug \ wgnuplot.exe" contains no known executable image.

 

Indicate that the file maybe corrupted.

 

By the way, you can clean files in the output folder, and perform a rebuild.

Dear Eric,

rebuilding the complete solution does not change the error messages. Double-clicking the file "C:\Users\taschna\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\gnuplot\gnuplot_VS2010\wgnuplot\Debug\wgnuplot.exe" starts the program without any problems.

 

Regards,

Alexander

Answer 3

I finally found the solution to this problem: I used the zlib library in this build which includes in its standard configuration some assembler code. If I use the build configuration without this assembler code, everything works as expected.
