OK, so you've reproduced it on a clean installation. I still have the other questions from before:
- What are the values of the TMP, TEMP and USERPROFILE environment variables? - What version of WiX are you using (including build number)? - Have you tried the latest weekly release from wix.sourceforge.net/releases? -- Mike Dimmick -----Original Message----- From: Krause, Henning [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 10 March 2008 19:09 To: Mike Dimmick; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [WiX-users] WIX PerformanceCounter element failing on Windows 2000 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
