Hi, It turned out that all of the missing entries were of type rawBase and it was expected behavior not to show them. But the problem with gathering data still exist: it should be able to work with multiple instances and setting on/off MultiInstance attribute does not allow to catch anything. The application that registers counters works properly and the counters are visible in performance monitor, but when I click them, the instances field is empty.

All of them should go to the same category. I did some research over the web and found the following threads: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3856680/how-do-i-create-performance-counters-for-a-net-application-with-a-wix-based-ins http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg34128.html http://masstransit-project.com/documentation/performance-counters which recommends using PerformanceCategory/PerformanceCounters tags. So I read the documentation, found an example in the source (wix35-sources\examples\test\perfcounter) and try to implement something similar. I wrote something similar to: <util:PerformanceCategory Id="Id" Name="Category Name" Help="Description" MultiInstance="yes"> <util:PerformanceCounter Name="% performance counter 1" Type="rawFraction" /> <util:PerformanceCounter Name="PerformanceCounter2" Type="rawBase" /> <util:PerformanceCounter Name="# performance counter 3" Type="numberOfItems64" /> </util:PerformanceCategory> After installation, I opened Performance Monitor and then wanted to add new counters. The "Category Name" was created successfully in Available counters, but unfortunately it has only the counters that name starts with "%" and "#" (so the second from above is missing - why?). When I chose the existing one, moved it to Added counters and press OK, the changes are not applied (no data is gathered). Fields Parent and Instance are blank. I tried to install also the example from wix source, but the installation finishes with "Failed to install performance counters (-2147024894)"; there is also nothing interesting in log. It is also unclear to me how the mapping works; is that the name from PerformanceCounter matches the name under which performance counter is registered, or there is different rule? I have some doubts now, because of the problems above. Documentation is very limited at this point. I am using WiX 3.5.
