An error occurs during usage:

"Failed to load perf counters from the computer <comp Name>"

Cause of error: the test client I use is Windows 2003, and the performance data Assistant (PDH. dll) is missing. This library is available only on Windows 2000 by default, but not on win2003.

Solution: Download nt4pdhdll.exe, decompress it, and copy it to the wast installation directory.
