I've recently installed the Cuda Toolkit v9, and have been attempting to run through some sample projects in Visual Studio 2017 in order to validate the setup, but can't seem to get the Cuda applications to build via Visual Studio. The "CUDA Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows" suggests running two applications; deviceQuery and then bandwidthTest. The deviceQuery application runs ok, but bandwidthTest (and all of the other sample applications that i have tried all seem to fail with the same error (exited with code 2), which is unfortunately not very descriptive. An example can be found below. Any suggestions?
