OpenCL: Strong name validation failed while creating a new opencl project

This is the OpenCL first tutorial I am following.

I am unable to create new OpenCL project. When I try to create new OpenCL project in visual studio 2010 on windows 7, 64 bit , I get "Strong name validation failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A)" error. And thus it fails to create new project.

Reading some forum says, I have to do some thing with the dll . But I have no idea what is being said.

Some advice is at :http://www.lookout.net/2006/04/bypassing-strong-name-verification-for.html which ask me to do this:

sn -Vr *,36e4ce08b8ecfb17

But what do I put for 36e4ce08b8ecfb17, this is the name of the assembly, but what is the name of the assembly in my case? I am facing this issue at the beginning, when I just try to create New OpenCL project.

Can some one give me a hint specific to OpenCL ?

Then I click OK , and I get this:

What I tried

c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC>sn -Vl

After I used elevated permission of CMD

C:\Windows\system32>sn -Vr * ,B03F5F7F11D50A3A

Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Strong Name Utility  Version 4.0.30319.1

Verification entry added for assembly '*,B03F5F7F11D50A3A'

No gain here , so tired this:

C:\Windows\system32>sn -Vr * ,*

Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Strong Name Utility  Version 4.0.30319.1
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

Verification entry added for assembly '*,*'

C:\Windows\system32>

Unfortunately no gain.

this is an annoying issue that can easily be sidestepped for development purposes.

To disable the strong name validating, simply open the visual studio command-line (for example, in Windows 7: Start >> All Programs >> Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 >> Visual Studio Tools >> Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010) )

Then type sn -Vl which will return you a list of all the assemblies registered for strong name validation.

Then type sn -Vr *,idnumberhere to disable the strong name validation for that assembly.

In the case of the error you are receiving ( Failed to open registry key -- Unable to format error message 00000005), this is most often related to permissions: your username may not have the necessary permissions to change strong name validation hence change the permissions on C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to allow full access to your username as well and all should be fine again:)

Also, ensure that you run the VS command-line with elevated privileges so select Run as Administrator.

Hope this helps. :)

Let me know if you need more information as well though:)
