Visual C++ compiler requried for profiling with instrumentation?

Question

I use Visual Studio 2010 in combination with the Intel C++ Compiler 12.1. When I try to run a instrumentation analysis with the Visual Studio profiler I do get an "Error VSP1033: The file '...\image_to_j2k.exe' does not contain a recognized executable image." 

However, when I switch to the Visual Studio C++ compiler profiling works fine.

Is instrumentation only possible for executables compiled with the Visual Studio Compiler?

Hi Constantin,

Thank you for your friendly assistance.

"Error VSP1033: The file '...\image_to_j2k.exe' does not contain a recognized executable image.

Like this issue, Roahn shared us a way in this thread “Error VSP1033”, you could try to run profiler in Visual Studio Command Prompt.

Maybe you could try to build you app in VS and check it again.

Reference:

Vsinstr (visual studil 2010) fails with the following error: Error VSP1033: The file 'C:\abc.exe' does not contain a recognized executable image.

Best Regards,
