Hello, I just had time to check this error again.
I created a new setup project and tested it on a Windows 2000 machine (clean install - only SP4 + security rollup in english). Same error. It works on Windows 2003 and 2008. The following events appear in the eventlog: [Error] Help index range of service SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Testcounter\Performance is corrupted. DWORD 0 contains the first index while DWORD 1 contains last index. Data: 0000: 00000ad5 00000ad3 [Error] Installing the performance counter strings for Testcounter failed. The Error code is DWORD 0 of the Record Data. 0000: 000000cb If I run the setup a second time on the Windows 2000 machine, the setup succeeds but the counter is not created. Instead the following event appear in the event log: [Error] The performance counter name string value in the registry is incorrectly formatted. The last valid index value is DWORD 0 in the Record Data. Data: 0000: 00000ad2 [Error] Help index range of service SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Testcounter\Performance is corrupted. DWORD 0 contains the first index while DWORD 1 contains last index. Data: 0000: 00000ad5 00000ad3 [Information] Performance counters for the Testcounter service were loaded successfully. The Record Data contains the new index values assigned to this service.
