Error in profiler report generation

Tools->Options->Performance Tools->General
Uncheck "Automatically serialize symbol information"

If you can't serialize symbols (I don't know why serialization is failing for you), you'll only be able to get meaningful analysis when you have the original symbol files from the scenario available.

Serialization takes whatever symbols are necessary to analyze your VSP file, and jams them onto the end of the file. That way, you can send the file off to someone else to look at, and they don't need to have your original symbols. Not serializing symbols means you just have to have your original instrumented exes and pdbs around if you want to analysis the file.

I don't know of another source for documentation, apart from the various profiler team blogs available here:

Visual Studio Performance Tools Blog

dimkaz, Can you send the VSP file and the exe/pdb files you used during data collection to find out why it gives you an error during serialization?

Thanks
