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?
