Yesterday I installed VTune on a system at one of the companies I'm working with. It worked like a charm and I could run a few analysis and see problem areas in the system.

Later I worked on another C++ project in Linux, this morning I woke up on MS-Access, and did a little Drupal after that (PHP). I came back on Visual Studio C++ and... the VTune button is disabled! Not available at all somehow and no error message or anything!?

Turns out, like yesterday I had to start the VTune version of Visual Studio! Without that special version, it simply doesn't work, but it still appears and you can go through the existing analysis. Surprised! Took me a little time to think about that one!
