Which version of the product you are using? Can you make sure you run the latest one? Also, can you send me the result directory that doesn't open, I'll take a look? I am a VTune developer. – Everetteeverglade

Can you just share the file using some file sharing service? E.g. depositfiles.com – Everetteeverglade

I have just resolved the same problem, hope it's not too late for you.

Firs of all, you should enable debug information, i.e. compile with -g option:

icpc -g -o output source.cpp

or

gcc -g -o output source.cpp

if you prefer GNU compiler.

Another step (non-trivial) was found here: it says that at least for Ubuntu you have to type in:

echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

This operation helped me and I hope it will help you and other people who face with this issue in future.
