Visual studio profiler driver error - visual-studio-2013

I'm trying to allow a standard user on Windows 7 Enterprise to use the Visual Studio 2013 Professional performance profiler. I have followed the instructions from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182387.aspx. From an elevated command prompt:
cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Team Tools\Performance Tools
vsperfcmd /admin:driver,start /admin:service,start
However, I get the error:
Error VSP1449: Unable to start VSPerfDrv120. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. Try using the /admin switch of vsperfcmd from an elevated prompt.

Can't start performance profiler in Visual Studio 2015

My version is 14.0.25431.01 Update 3 (Windows 7 Pro x64).
When I try and run the performance profiler I get the following errors:
Performance Session File does not exist or is invalid.
When I click on OK I get a
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Things I did:
Choose Release configuration (always)
Run VS as Admin (always)
/ResetSettings
/SafeMode
Repair VS
Delete *.psess files
No reference to diagnostics in *.sln file to delete
Added C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Team
Tools\Performance Tools to system and user path environment variable
and rebooted.
I'm running out of options here.....

Visual Studio: missing Shortcut: "Visual Studio Command Prompt"

Because the VS 2015 Installer was crashing all the time, I had to use the silent installation. Now I don't have the "Visual Studio Command Prompt" Shortcut in Start menu. Can I find it somewhere else?
I had to create the shortcuts manually as well, but they all follow the same pattern so no biggie:
%comspec% /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86
Don't forget to change the execution path to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\"
Replace the last bit (x86) with the tool you want to use:
x86
amd64
arm
x86_arm
x86_amd64
amd64_x86
amd64_arm
Visual studio command prompt is nothing but the regular command prompt where few environment variables are set by default. This variables are set in the batch script : C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat . So basically to get a visual studio command prompt for a particular version, just open regular command prompt and run this batch script : C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat (Change the visual studio version based on your installed version). Voila you have got the visual studio command prompt. You can write a script to run the batch file and open cmd.exe and have a shortcut for the same.

Access Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt from regular Command Prompt

This related question shows how to build and run a Visual Studio solution from Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt. My question is, is it possible to build and run a Visual Studio solution directly from the regular Windows Command Prompt (cmd.exe)?
Finally, I found the answer.
Access VS Developer Command Prompt from regular command prompt.
C:\Users\Hwathanie>cmd.exe /k ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio 12.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"" x86
Build the solution.
C:\Users\Hwathanie>msbuild "C:\Users\Hwathanie\Documents\Visual
Studio 2013\Projects\MyProject\MyProject.sln" /p:Configuration=Debug
Run the exe file created.
C:\Users\Hwathanie>"C:\Users\Hwathanie\Documents\Visual Studio 2
013\Projects\MyProject\bin\Debug\MyProject.exe"

Visual Studio C++ and OpenMPI in windows: missing files.h

I've just correctly installed Visual Studio Express C++ and OpenMPI.
I've added the path to PATH variable:
C:\Program Files\OpenMPI_v1.5.5-win32\bin;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include
and I've written a simple program in MPI on visual c++ express.
The problem is that when I try to compile from prompt dos
mpicxx -o mpi mpi01.cpp
it tells me that there are a lot of missing files.h (no such file od directory) which are all inside
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include
But, as I've just said, I've included this in PATH.
Why does it miss them all?
Your "prompt dos" should be the one you get when you launch the Visual Studio "Developper Command prompt". Shortcut located in your Start Menu -> Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio -> Visual Studio Tools

I get "operation cannot be completed" when i try to open visual studio 2010?

Hi I am getting the operation cannot be completed error when i tried to open Visual studio 2010. Previous to that I was trying to install web platform and didnt install but that is all I did...anyone have suggestions...i tried restart my pc...
Try devenv /setup, devenv /resetsettings, or devenv /resetuserdata. Important: only try the last two as a last resort since they will reset your settings.
Assuming you're on a 32-bit OS, devenv is available from the command-line at \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE or from the VS command prompt.
