Hi Bob,
I apologize for taking so long to respond. I was helping somebody else with
this authoring and was waiting for them to get back to me with their update.
The components the performance counters are tied to were being updated in the
patch but the counters themselves were not, which was an issue because these
were new counters. I've added the performance counter components to the patch
now. When I build my MSP I am getting the following:
error PYRO0260: Product '{MY_GUID}': Table 'CreateFolder' has a new row
'DT.DirName/CP.MyCounterComponent' added. This makes the patch not
uninstallable.
I understand that patches cannot be uninstallable if they modify the
CreateFolder table. I can set the patch so it is not uninstallable to get
around this issue, but I'm wondering where CreateFolder comes in since my
component does not use CreateFolder. Does Util:PerformanceCounter
automatically update the CreateFolder table? If so, then I'm assuming it's not
possible to add a performance counter to a patch and also have the patch be
uninstallable?
Thanks,
Jeff Perrigo

How are you registering performance counters? Is the component they're
tied to being updated in the patch? What's the component's action state
during the patch? Start with a verbose log.
