I downloaded and installed:

Visual Studio 2010 CUDA Toolkit 4.1 N-Body Simulation sample(extracted to desktop in a folder called "NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK")

When I opened the nbody_vs2010.sln inside "NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK\C\src\nbody" , I got 2 could not be found errors for:

NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK\shared\shrUtils_vs2010.vcxproj NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK\C\common\cutil_vs2010.vcxproj

When am I doing wrong?

I read this to mean that you downloaded the individual n-body sample here rather than the complete SDK. I just downloaded that package and confirmed that it is missing the shrUtils library (it has the headers, but no source or project files). This is a bug.

For now, to work around the issue, please download the entire SDK package (32-bit or 64-bit), and I will report the problem!
