Microsoft SQL 2008 Setup: Performance Counter Registry Hive consistency check failed

If you experience this error on a non English or MUI version of Windows Server 2008 this Registry entry helped me to resolve the issue. It adjusts the Performance counter registry values as described in Microsoft’s KB 300956 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/300956).

IMPORTANT: Before importing the key, make sure to Export your current Perflib settings stored here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib

Download the Registry Key here: Perflib.zip

SQL2008Perflib

I added a compiled version of Max’s C# code to retrieve the LCID.
