I just installed PAL today. I tried processing a perfmon file I captured from one of our SQL servers, and during the processing it failed with the error below. The counter index progress bar showed up and looked like it completed successfully. So, I have no idea why I received this error?

I'm not sure why you are getting this error. Can you send me the counter log at http://bit.ly/PalUpload?
