Installing Your Application
If you want system administrators to be able to collect performance data from your finished application, you must use your application's SETUP.INF file. The script in this file can perform the following tasks:
- Create keys and values in the Registry. Use this to create the application's Performance key and the Library, Open, Collect, and Close values under this key.
- Copy the application's performance DLL file into the NT_root directory.
- Run the lodctr utility to install the application's counters and counter objects in the PerfLib node.
For more information about writing a SETUP.INF script, see the Windows NT Device Driver Kit documentation.
