Re: Perflib bug!

Per,

Unless the key is locked by another component (maybe the case if performance counters are on) you can log in as Local System account
and run regedit there either in automatic mode or manually with GUI to delete the key (use "at /interactive" command).

Hi Andy,

Thanks but this does not help since we need to supply a patch to fix this
issue for products that has already been shipped to customers.
Is there ANY way to delete this key programmatically? Which application is
using this key and therefore preventing it to be deleted while the system is
running?

To delete it post FBA, you may need to boot to an offline OS, like WinPE
or something else, then load the hive offline to edit it. Please let us
know if this helps or not.

It is NOT possible to delete the registry key
(HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\009\) while the
system is running. It fails with an error message "Cannot delete 009: Error
while deleting key."
