Error parsing at startup

description

Doesn't appear to work for me on Win7 x64. Error parsing processor time at startup then I can't add any memory counters. Lots of input string not in correct format.

I'm developing on a 64-bit platform so it is not that. How do you specify the startup parameter? Best is to use the qpmset type of files as it eliminate the need for escaping some reserved characters (but not all).

It was quite a while ago, I don't remember. But I don't think I specified any startup parameter. I just ran the exe directly.

Do you still have the same issue and/or have you tried the latest version?

I still have the same issue after downloading the latest copy just now.

I've tested the download and run (as is) on a Win 7 x64 machine without issue. There must be something different in your environment - perhaps regional settings or so. What language/region settings are you using for your OS?

Standard stuff there, English (United States). I dug into the code and that lead me to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3121688/performance-counter-input-string-was-not-in-a-correct-format-c which lead me to http://drayblog.gotdns.com/index.php/2010/02/04/diagnostics-performancecounter-input-string-was-not-in-a-correct-format/ which fixed the issue. It appears that maybe if you monkey with perf mon counters that this can happen both in perfmon and this tool.

Can I mark this as closed/fixed?

Sure
