Very cool! I wonder if you need to have private Microsoft symbols?

Hi Brett,

You dont need private symbols - only the public symbols that the debugger will get automatically from the MS symbol server.

This works since we know the PDH functions return HRESULTs, so all we need to do is breakpoint, execute the function, and grab the return from the EAX register.

So, all you need is PerfMon and the debuggers installed.

Thanks,

Mike
