Runtime error in VS Solution

Back

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)
   at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter..ctor(String categoryName, String counterName)
   at QuantConnect.OS.get_RamTotalCounter() in C:\Users\Sidney\Desktop\Lean-master\Lean-master\Common\OS.cs:line 49
   at QuantConnect.OS.get_TotalPhysicalMemory() in C:\Users\Sidney\Desktop\Lean-master\Lean-master\Common\OS.cs:line 194
   at QuantConnect.Lean.Launcher.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Users\Sidney\Desktop\Lean-master\Lean-master\Launcher\Program.cs:line 75
 

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,
