If your windows is not pt-BR, you probably won't. I created this stuff to help:

This shows the registry key you'll have to create at your computer. |

There is another post discussing the same issue as yours. The subject of post is:
How to resolve "Performance counter registry hive consistency check" failed?
Please refer that post and see if it resolves the issue. The bottom line is that you need to rebuild the perfmon counter, correct the bad registry key hive, and then you can install SQL Server 2008.
If the reference of post doesn’t resolve the problem, please use “regedit.exe�to export the following registry key hive to a file, and then post the file here.
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib�/font>
Once I get the file, I will try to rebuild the perfmon counter for you.
The tool “regedit.exe�usually exports registry keys to files with extension �reg� If you post the file, please rename it to the extension �txt�so that it can reach to the forum.
Thanks.

Dude, put this at any Console application:
string.Format("{0,3}", CultureInfo.InstalledUICulture.Parent.LCID.ToString("X")).Replace(" ", "0");
Watch the result. At mine it was "016".
Then you go to the registry at this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib
and create another one with the name you got from the string.Format result. In my case:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\016"
and copy the info that is on any other key in this Perflib to this key you just created. Run the instalation again. Done!

Hi Rafael!
Your application and your tips were very useful for me when installing SQLServer2008 on Vista Business.
Thank you!

This issue can be easily fixed by type the following command in Command Prompt window.
lodctr /R:PerfStringBackup.INI

Hey, nothing was working. The Technet link is useless. But this worked like a charm. Thanks! |

Mate not only was this by FAR the easiest thing to do on XP for a novice user, it worked straight away. Lifesaver! If you're running XP i would use this solution |

I would have been reduced to tears with the failed 2008 installation attempts, save for your brilliant solution...now with any luck,I can actually get jobs (all) that, whether they use it or not,demand SSAS!!! (as long as they don't look up AdventureWorks on the web...) thanks so much
8^) DOS to the rescue... |

I confirm that 1°) the KB300956 article was worthless. 2°) the above command solves the problem. |
| olrt Saturday, June 20, 2009 7:52 AM |
yes, it works on my xp also |

This resolved my issue in 32 bit Vista as well. seems it should be added to the Knowledge base article. |

Hi Rafael, I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate PT-BRwith english language pack. I tried to install SQL Server 2008 Express 64 bits and got the same error "Performance counter registry hive consistency check failed" Did the changes you suggested in registry but couldn't install it until I created a key with the locale ID for pt-br "0416" and copied all the valuesthat were inside the key "009" into it. I found the locale ID for pt-br inthis page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964664.aspxHope this could help anyone experiencing the same problem. |
