I''m getting conflicting reports on whether its worthwhile to install this. I would like to start profiling my application already (pushing towards a 0.1 release). Cedric mentioned earlier that he can''t get the thing to uninstall properly, which really worries me. Others have said it works fine for them with unmanaged C++, and still others can''t get it to work properly. I''d be using it with unmanaged C++. I know to turn whole program optimization off in order to make it work. I think I''ll just make a new configuration. But if you can''t remove it I don''t want to hose up my system. I''m just interested in what people think about it nowadays. I use Visual Studio.NET 2003.

It seems to work well enough. The single biggest gripe I have is that it doesn''t understand templates very well. For example, if you have a function template it does not profile that line-by-line; instead, it just gives a time taken for the entire function. This is obviously quite annoying.
