The installation requires a full path to the DLL containing the perf counter resources (localized strings). The path to the DLL will be determined as follows: If the applicationIdentity attribute in the manifest is a full path, that will be used. Otherwise, if Installation-Path is provided and is a full path, that will be used. Otherwise, if Counter-Manifest is a full path, the directory from Counter-Manifest will be combined with the DLL name from the applicationIdentity attribute in the manifest. Otherwise, the current directory will be combined with the DLL name from the applicationIdentity attribute in the manifest. /? Display help.
