NewRelic for .NET needs COR_ENABLE_PROFILING set to 1 in registry

Question

I just installed the NewRelic .NET agent on our test server. I got an error saying that the installer was unable to access the registry and that COR_ENABLE_PROFILING needs to be set to 1 before the agent will work.

How can I set COR_ENABLE_PROFILING to 1?

Answer 1

Create a System Environment variable COR_ENABLE_PROFILING and set the value to 1 and restart server just in case.
