VC++ 05 beta 2: pgodb80.dll not found

Hi,

I was hoping to try out the profile guided optimisations, however, when I try to build an intrumented application I get the following error:
"fatal error C1350: error loading dll 'pgodb80.dll': dll not found"

The pgodb80.dll simply does not exist in the installation.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of this dll so I can move forward to test out the PGO capabilities

Best wishes,
   Mark

    Hi Ayman,

    Thanks for the clarification.

    I installed Visual C++ 2005 express edition beta 2 version:
    Visual Studio 2005 8.0.50215.44 (beta2.050215-4400)

    I had mistakenly assumed the beta 2 gave a limited time evaluation/test of all the functionality including PGO. The settings dialogs allow me to select PGO Instrument without any warning.

    Is it possible for me to obtain an evaluation copy of VS2005 Pro so I can evaluate PGO

    Intel provide time limited evaluation licenses for their C++ compiler so that features like PGO can be evaluated - is there an equivalent way to evaluate PGO capabilities in VC++ before purchase

    Best wishes,

    Hi Mark,
      Which edition of VC++ 2005 did you install

    It is to be noted that for the VC++ 2005 express edition PGO won't be supported since it will only be available in the Professional and above editions of VS 2005.

    See the FAQ at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/express/faq/default.aspx#visualc under "optimizing compiler" for more details.
