I'm in the process of migrating my app installation to wix. It's a .NET 2.0 app that currently uses installutil to add some custom performance counters and event log sources. Seeing as how I noticed that WixUtilExtension.dll supplies this functionality from the installer, I thought I'd give it a try instead.
I'm rubbing up against an issue, however. The installation completes just fine, but the moment my app attempts to modify a counter, it goes bang with the following exception: System.InvalidOperationException: PerformanceCounterInstanceLifetime.Process is not valid in the global shared memory. If your performance counter category was created with an older version of the Framework, it uses the global shared memory. Either use PerformanceCounterInstanceLifetime.Global, or if applications running on older versions of the Framework do not need to write to your category, delete and recreate it. If I believe that error, the way I've defined the counters in my wxs file installs them in the global shared memory (or uses the .NET 1.* approach to install them). Is there a way to tell it to do things the new way instead of the old or should I give up for now and just have some custom actions call installutil once the bits land on the box?
