Profiling error with MSVC 2005

[Denis P. Mendoza]

I've been using MSVC 2005 STD edition for quite some time. Lately I just inserted the upgraded Professional edition to use PGO. The problem is. using the IDE, I always have an error when starting to profile my compile with PGI......

MSVC 2005 compiling error, This application has failed to start because PGORT80.dll was not found.....

It's odd since the pgort80.dll is on the MSVC bin folder. I managed to profile my binary after inserting the pgort80.dll with the executable (Release folder)???!!! Has somebody experienced this, or did I miss something. I had no problrms with Intel with IDE or commandline, except for this one.

Never had quite that one Denis, but I have had VS2005 go completely haywire on me on several occasions (crashing, dumb messages, etc).
Always a repair of the installation has done the trick.

Good luck!

If that does not work, try applying the latest MSVS service pack.

It takes ages to install though

I already repaired/reinstalled the upgrade but to no avail. Same old case. I better uninstall the entire software and make a clean install. And it will be a very loooooooooong installation especially with the DVDs (which I hate so much). And thanks, I need that luck somehow while waiting.

I also tried it. A clean install will probably do the trick, but I really don't have to grow 2mm of beard just to wait for it to finish. I just have to google some more or ask Bill Gates
