I had this same problem  For me this solution worked for SQL Server 2008 R2 Express    Create a shortcut for SQLEXPRWT x64 ENU exe  This is the name of the file I used  Right-click on the shortcut and click  Properties  Look for a box under the shortcut tab that says  Target  Inside of the target box  add to whatever is already in there this line        Action install  SKIPRULES PerfMonCounterNotCorruptedCheck    Of course this does not fix the underlying issue but it is a workaround because this fix also works on the principle of skipping the Performance counter check in the setup  The difference is this method worked for me when doing it through the command line failed

Ignoring the check results in a corrupted install  This is the only solution that worked for me    Create a C  console app with the following code   Console WriteLine string Format   0 3    CultureInfo InstalledUICulture Parent LCID ToString  X    Replace       0     Run the app and get the 3 digit code  Run   Regedit  open the following path  HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT CurrentVersion Perflib    Now  if you don t have a folder underneath that path with the 3 digit code from step 2  create it  If you do have the folder  check that it has the  Counter  and  Help  values set under that path  It probably doesn t -- which is why the check fails   Create the missing Counter and Help keys  REG MULTI SZ   For the values  copy them from the existing path above  probably 009    The check should now pass

The following solution works for me  you can try it    Write to run   regedit Then open   HKEY LOCAL MACHINE -  SOFTWARE -  Microsoft -  Windows NT -  Perflib Under the  009 and  01F files  right click and select new and choose  multi string value  named it as  Counter  and do these steps again to create  Help  named file   Important   it is case sensitive  Copy contents of  Counter  and  Help  files under the  CurrentLanguage  to the  009 and  01F files
