Where could I find the installer for NVIDIA Nsight Visual Studio Edition 5.2.0.16218 (was that RC2?)???
Seems that it isn’t in the archive (only 5.1 there), the [url]Gameworks Download Center | NVIDIA Developer points to the 5.2 installer whilst trying to fetch 5.2 RC2, etc.
Can’t update cleanly as I’m not unable to uninstall 16218 build already on my box. :-/

Cheers,
Stefan

Stefan,

We don’t keep older RC’s of an Nsight version on our download center.
I’ll email you on the side to help resolve your issue.

Thanks Robert, that worked perfectly. I guess you don’t have appetite for changing the way how you package Nsight? I’ll just keep archiving future RCs on my end.

Does anyone know now to get NSight to work with a vb.net project in VS2015?

When you right-click on the vb.net project, you get no NSight User Settings item on the context menu.

However, if you add a C# project to the solution and you right-click that project, then you can see the menu item and can access the NSight User Settings.

Is there a workaround that lets a vb.net project use NSight?

Sorry, Nsight doesn’t currently support vb.net projects.
