Can't recognize executable when using First Use Wizard

Version: v9.1 Update 2, build #226

Problem:
When the user uses VTune™ Analyzer GUI, "First Use Wizard" to create a new activity, will see a dialog to complain that target application has no debug information, actually debug information already exists within this application. If the user clicks "Finish" button, it says that target application is a script file.

Root-cause:
This is a known issue in "First Use Wizard", if the user builds any application and the name includes "text" sub-string. "First Use Wizard" treats such application as a script file.

Resolutions:
1) Build (generate) application without "text" sub-string.
-OR-
2) Use "Sampling Wizard" instead of "First Use Wizard"

When I use "First Use Wizard" to find my code`s hotpoint,but it does not display the sampling result-summary. How can i get the summary and turn to the source code IDE in the Vtune?

1. Please use "Sampling Wizard" instead of "First Use Wizard", so Processes report will be displayed instead of Hotspot report, then find your application's process, drill down to modules report (your process relevant), then find hot functions, go to source view.
2. Your source code can be displayed with annotated performance data (samples) - only, if only samples are captured in your source. Please increase your workload in source, or change Sample-After-Value of events, ensure samples in source code are captured!
