PerfMonCounterNotCorruptedCheck error in installation of S..

Hi everybody,

I've encountered an error in installation of SQL 2008 Developer Edition on
Vista 64bit Business Edition. PerfMonCounterNotCorruptedCheck is failed and
the installer suggests me to refer document on
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300956

First of all, I found the article is difficult to fully understand.
Seondly, this article offically refers to Windows 2000, Server 2003, etc. and
I don't know whether it is also good for Vista. Then, in the middle of
article, the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services is not
found in my registry. I have no idea whether it is important to solve the
problem if I miss this step.

I'd like to have an easy way to make my installation successful. Vista SP1
is applied to my machine. Does anyone have a good idea? Thanks for your
kindly attention and advice!

Regards,
James Wong
