Posted by markeboy on June 23, 2008, 11:16 am Please log in for more thread options I have a simple custom performance counter that is created each time my service starts. The category is created at install time. I can connect to the service's process and see my counter incrementing correctly. Perform shows this value as 0 regardless, however this was working a few reinstalls ago. It did stop working after I had to reboot my computer to fix a "this installation has been marked as deleted (or similar)" error message. I am sure I am checking the correct counter as when this in uninstalled the counter category is removed. I can see other non custom counters correctly in perfmon I am running WIN2K3 SP2. Any issues or explanation for this behaviour?
