[Bug 24022] New: NVShaderPerf fails to find plugins/performance modules (and therefore to start)
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24022
Summary: NVShaderPerf fails to find plugins/performance modules (and therefore to start) Product: Wine Version: 1.3.0 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msxml3 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: freireclaudio@yahoo.com.ar
NVShaderPerf is an NVidia tool that runs on the console, and that is sadly available only on Windows.
I've successfully used nvdxt (another, similar tool by nVidia) with wine 1.3.0, and it runs perfectly fine.
But NVShaderPerf seems to require XML parsing in a way wine does not support (or at least that seems to be the case according to console output).
Installation goes without a hitch, and after defining a comfy alias on my .bashrc, I get the following attempting to even show the help:
username@host:~> nvshaderperf -v 2 fixme:msxml:internal_putProperty (0x145778)->(L"http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler"): semi-stub fixme:msxml:saxxmlreader_QueryInterface interface {a60511c4-ccf5-479e-98a3-dc8dc545b7d0} not implemented fixme:msxml:saxxmlreader_QueryInterface interface {e15c1baf-afb3-4d60-8c36-19a8c45defed} not implemented No performance DLLs found, please reinstall No performance plugins found, please reinstall NVShaderPerf
I checked the plugins.xml, and it's utf-16 encoded with a BOM mark. If it's indeed an xml issue (something I can't confirm with the limited info I have at hand), it must be an encoding thing (either being utf-16 or having a BOM), because the xml's contents are rather simple:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> <plugins> <!-- Performance analysis plugins --> <plugin progid="nvsys.NVPerf3X.1"/> <plugin progid="nvsys.NVVertPerf3X.1"/> <plugin progid="nvsys.NVPerf4X.1"/> <plugin progid="nvsys.NVVertPerf4X.1"/>
</plugins>

--- Comment #2 from Claudio Freire freireclaudio@yahoo.com.ar 2010-08-19 22:02:07 --- It did!
I had to install msxml4, and it seems to be working now.
(still, it means built-in msxml needs some love)

--- Comment #4 from Nikolay Sivov bunglehead@gmail.com 2011-02-18 17:37:11 CST --- I downloaded this tool from Nvidia site, now I need steps to reproduce that. Running with '-v 2' shows:
--- Must specify shader type with 2 option. Error with '2' argument ---
What options should I use?

I downloaded this tool from Nvidia site, now I need steps to reproduce that. Running with '-v 2' shows:
Must specify shader type with 2 option. Error with '2' argument
What options should I use?
The "-v 2" option means "verbose output", or at least that it meant in the last version of the tool I tried - nVidia has been changing the command line of the tool almost capriciously, not even keeping the documentation in sync.
In any case, running the tool without any arguments should output the help message if it ran OK, and the error I posted on the initial comment if it didn't.
When I get a chance, I'll post the command line I normally use with the tool (which works fine after installing msxml4 with winetricks btw).
