What software must already be installed?
Before installing Intel® Thread Checker onto Microsoft Windows*, you must have the VTune™ Performance Analyzer v7.2 or higher already installed, as Intel® Thread Checker is a plug-in to the VTune™ environment. Visit the Intel® Threading Tools Web site to obtain VTune Performance Analyzer and/or Intel Thread Checker.
On Microsoft Windows systems, you must also have the following already installed:
- Microsoft Visual* C++ v6.0, or higher
- Intel® Compilers are required for source instrumentation or OpenMP* analysis.
- Microsoft* Internet Explorer v6.0, or higher
- Adobe* Reader*
To use the Linux* Remote Data Collector (Remote Agent), you must also install Intel Thread Checker on a Microsoft Windows system.
Installing a New Version Over an Already Installed Version
To install a new version of Intel Thread Checker, you must first uninstall the currently installed version.
Note: Before removing the current version from Windows, you might want to save your projects using File » Pack and Go menu in the VTune environment.
To remove the currently installed version from Windows*, go to Start » Control Panel » Add or Remove Programs » Intel® Thread Checker.
To remove the currently installed version from Linux, run uninstall32.sh or uninstall64.sh, which is typically found in the /opt/intel/itt directory.
Integration with Microsoft .NET* Developer Environment
How do I get Intel Thread Checker to install into the Microsoft .NET Developer Environment?
You may already have this integration. Check in the .NET* Developer Environment by right-clicking in the menu area and be sure that the VTune™ Performance Tools menu is enabled. If you don't see VTune™ Performance Tools in the list, follow these steps:
- Install Microsoft .NET Developer Environment before installing VTune Performance Analyzer. If VTune Performance Analyzer must be uninstalled, then uninstall Intel Thread Checker first.
- When installing VTune Performance Analyzer, select integration with the Microsoft .NET Developer Environment when prompted by a dialog. Note: Integration with the Microsoft .NET Developer Environment is not a default installer option, so you must select it.
- Install Intel Thread Checker. The Thread Checker installer will default to integration with the Microsoft .NET Developer Environment, because VTune™ Performance Analyzer is already integrated.
General Installation Tips for Windows*

Can I install onto Microsoft Windows* 2000 Server using Terminal Services*?
To install Intel Thread Checker via the Terminal Services* client onto a Microsoft Windows* 2000 Server (any edition), the server must have the following set:
- Start » Settings » Control Panel » Terminal Services Configuration » Server Settings » Use temporary folder per session set option to No.
A server reboot is not necessary. After the installation has completed, the client must log off (not just disconnect) from the server before using Intel® Thread Checker.
