Failure in delete performance counter category

问题

I have this simple code:

public void CreateCounters() {
    if (PerformanceCounterCategory.Exists(_categoryName)) {
        PerformanceCounterCategory.Delete(_categoryName);
    }

    // create logic…
}

works on my machine. I run it on my server, get the following stack trace:

System has detected a fatal error. EXITING... 
NativeErrorCode: 1010 
ErrorCode: -2147467259 
Message: The configuration registry key is invalid

 at myApp.Program.Main(String[] args) 

The category exists on the server, I can see it in perfmon GUI.
