A error occurred when open a CUDA SDK example using VS2010

Question

I have installed cudatoolkit_3.2.16_win_64 and gpucomputingsdk_3.2.16_win_64. When I choose a example of the SDK, I get this error:

The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\BuildCustomizations\NvCudaRuntimeApi.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk. C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK 3.2\C\src\template\template_vc90.vcxproj

And in the Solution Explorer, it shows "template(unavailable)""the project file was unloaded".

How to fix this error?

Answer 1

3.2 now works with the latest bits. Horray! The simplest way to get this working is to install NSight 1.51 and this gets you the build rules installed in the right place for 3.2.

Here are two tutorials on getting started with CUDA and Visual C++ 2010:

There's also a post on the NVIDIA forum:

As far as I know, you can't have v3.2 with VS2010 because it ain't supported yet.

But you could fallback to 3.1 if you would like to keep using VS2010:

CUDA + VS2010 without VS2008
