I have encountered a very strange problem with the performance counter in the French operating system. When I use the PdhValidatePath method to check if the key is reasonable, the system reports an error, but the performance data returns normally.

I note the same key on English is \Network Adapter(*)\Packets Sent/sec and the same key on French windows is \Interface réseau(*)\Paquets/s

Performance monitoring data can be obtained using both keys, but PdhValidatePath reports an error. Errcode is that

0xC0000BC0 (PDH_CSTATUS_BAD_COUNTERNAME) | Unable to parse the counter path. Check the format and syntax of the specified path.

I checked the msdn documentation and found that they did not use PdhValidatePath in their official sample.

I hope that you can help me to give pointers on the best practices of pdh in non-English environments.
