visual studio .net enterprise tools: We want to use the functionality of EIF, but we're not interested in using
the trace event sink. I thought you only needed the TraceSessionManager
service if you were using the trace event sink. So, I tried deploying our
application with just the Microsoft.EnterpriseInstrumentation.*.dlls, but
when I try to raise an event I get the following InvalidOperation exception:
"The requested Performance Counter is not a custom counter, it has to be
initialized as ReadOnly."

Running "installutil TraceSessionManager.exe" seems to fix this. But, is
there any way I can use the EIF dll's without the TraceSessionManager
installed? Can I create the expected perfmon counters another way? I'd
really rather not have to deploy/install the TraceSessionManager service if
we aren't using it.

Thanks!

Hmm...understood. In case we decide to take this route anyway, can I get
some info on the perfmon counters i need to install?
Thanks Mike

Firstly I should say that, EIF is supported only when it is installed from
the MSI.
So if you want support, the deployment will have include installing EIF the
standard way.

However, you're right - if you install the perf counters by hand, then you
wouldnt need to install (or have present) the TraceSessionManager.dll
If you want an example of this - reply back and I'll have a look for some
sample code.
