create performance counters and categories

[EP]

Either from script or from the Windows Installer libraries, is it possible
to programatically create performance counters and categories?

I need to put this functionailty into a VBScript custom action and need to
try to avoid using the .net route.

(sorry for all the newsgroups but each one I posted to I thought was
relevant)

This describes how to run the lodctr.exe program.
