I'll give you the wix, the installer code, and the usage all side by side:
.wxs fragment:
<Component Id="MyApp" Guid="XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX" KeyPath="yes">
<File Name="$(var.MyApp.TargetFileName)"
Source="$(var.MyApp.TargetPath)" DiskId="1" />
<File Name="$(var.MyApp.TargetName).pdb"
Source="$(var.MyApp.TargetDir)$(var.MyApp.TargetName).pdb" DiskId="1" />
<util:PerformanceCategory Id="MyAppCategory" Name="My Application"
Help="Custom performance counters for my application." MultiInstance="yes">
<util:PerformanceCounter Name="My First Counter" Help="The
first custom counter for my application." Type="numberOfItems64" />
</util:PerformanceCategory>
</Component>
.cs fragment (installer):
PerformanceCounterInstaller category = new PerformanceCounterInstaller();
category.CategoryName = "My Application";
category.CategoryHelp = "Custom performance counters for my application.";
category.CategoryType = PerformanceCounterCategoryType.MultiInstance;
CounterCreationData counter = new CounterCreationData();
counter.CounterName = "My First Counter";
counter.CounterHelp = "The first custom counter for my application.";
counter.CounterType = PerformanceCounterType.NumberOfItems64;
counterInstaller.Counters.Add(counter);
.cs fragment (usage):
PerformanceCounter counter = new PerformanceCounter();
counter.CategoryName = MyApp.CounterCategoryName;
counter.CounterName = MyApp.FirstCounterName;
counter.InstanceName = newInstanceName;
counter.InstanceLifetime = PerformanceCounterInstanceLifetime.Process;
counter.ReadOnly = false;
counter.Increment(); // This throws InvalidOperationException

Can you give us the corresponding .wxs code?
