PerfCounter was deprecated a long time ago when Vista came along, I believe. My memory may be a little fuzzy. I think it has something to do with lodctr being no longer the recommended way to install perf counters by MSDN.
Ultimately, if there is a problem in PerformanceCategory and friends, then it would be great to file it and maybe you can help us fix it. No one has been in that code for a very long time so you may know more than most do at this point. <smile/> Code is at ca\serverca\scasched\scaperf.cpp and ca\serverca\scaexec\scaperfexec.cpp. If you'd like to help out, let's take the conversation to wix-d...@lists.sourceforge.net Thanks.
