Hello,

I have a problem with installing creating performance counters using
PerformanceCounter element in Wix 3.

It works great on Windows 2003 and later, but fails on Windows 2000. 

The error code returned by the performance counter custom action is 203,
which translates to "The system could not find the environment option
that was entered.".

An entry in the event log is created stating that the performance
counter configuration is corrupt. But other programs installed correctly
and when I use the managed PerformanceCounterCategory.Create from inside
a managed custom action it works like charm.

Any clues what's going on here? 

Excerpt from the MSI installer log:

RegisterPerfCounterData:  Error 0x800700cb: Failed to execute install of
performance counter category: <Category Name>
RegisterPerfCounterData:  Error 0x800700cb: Failed to execute
PerformanceCategory table.
Error 26253. Failed to install performance counters.  (-2147024693
)

Kind regards,
Henning Krause
