I just installed VTune Amplifier XE 2015. Trying to run the tachyon tutorial example I get the error: "Cannot load data file `D:\tmp\r000hs\data.0\7576-2976.0.trace' (Data file is corrupted)." I also get the warning: "Cannot find data to precompute. Skipping the precomputation step."
I tried to follow the instructions in this thread: https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/279872. This did not help. I am running VTune Amplifier XE 2015 Update 1 through Visual Studio 2010 on Win7. Running as an administrator does not help. Changing results directory does not help. Disabling "high accurate cpu time" does not help.
Command line:
