we are using:

<util:PerformanceCounter Name="theName" Help="HELP!" Type="numberOfItems32"/>

to add new performance counters in an existing category.

we have a patch that has been created for an older version using WiX 3.5.
The performance counters are being added - no problem.

In another version we have WiX 3.7 - performance counters are not added.

So I've created some log output from both version and saw the following:

in the WiX 3.5 installer I see the following:

MSI (s) (24:04) [09:52:44:750]: Executing op: RegAddValue(Name=Counter 
Names,Value=[~]blabla [~]new performance counter[~],)
WriteRegistryValues: Key: \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Server 
Scheduler\Performance, Name: Counter Names, Value: [~]blabla [~]new performance 
counters[~]

in the 3.7 wix installer I only see the first line:

MSI (s) (94:D0) [11:26:20:632]: Executing op: RegAddValue(Name=Counter 
Names,Value=[~]blabla[~]new performance counter [~],)

but not the second log entry.

It looks like the registry key is not written - makes sense since performance 
counters are mostly registry entries.

Is it possible that this is a difference between WiX 3.5 and WiX 3.7 - or is it 
a problem in the WiX util:PerformanceCounter?

Thanks, Hinrich
