When I try to use hardware event-based profiling in VTune (Profiler 2020), I get the error message

Cannot enable Hardware Event-based Sampling due to a problem with the driver (sep*/sepdrv*). Check that the driver is running and the driver group is in the current user group list. See the "Sampling Drivers" help topic for further details.

In the Sampling Drivers section of the use guide it says

Windows* targets: Verify the sampling driver is installed correctly. If required, install the driver.

then asks me to run amplxe-sepreg.exe. This is missing from the bin32 directory. I have reinstalled multiple times.

    I have already gotten it to work with oneAPI, it was System Studio that I was using before which didn't work. – me' Jul 04 '20 at 07:01

After uninstalling again and installing from the oneAPI package, it worked.

  • Seems like you should have marked the other answer as correct. All you did was follow his advise. – ChileAddict - Intel Jul 06 '20 at 18:37
  • I did this before he answered. After installing oneAPI, it just worked, I didn’t even need to look for amplxe-sepreg. It was the system studio version that didn’t have amplxe-sepreg. – me' Jul 07 '20 at 02:49
