I'm using the VS solution. It builds without error. However, at runtime it generates this exception:
_ramTotalCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Memory", "Available Bytes");
Exception details are:
System.InvalidOperationException
HResult=0x80131509
Message=Could not locate Performance Counter with specified category name 'Memory', counter name 'Available Bytes'.
Source=System
StackTrace:
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.InitializeImpl()
at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter..ctor(String categoryName, String counterName, String instanceName, Boolean readOnly)

Is anyone else having this problem? How did you resolve it?

We have never seen this issue before and couldn't reproduce the issue.
From my research on this issue, I found this: Performance Counters in .Net.
It might help to fix your particular case.

Perfect solution to this vexing problem, Douglas !!!
Note: I did have to run the lodctr /r twice in elevated permissions to get it to work. Otherwise, it's an excellent fix. Worth a beer next time you're in Rio :)
Best,

Hey! Glad it worked. Very strange error indeed. Compiling sure can be a lot harder than one thinks :(
