Miscellaneous Utilities : Procdump 7.x error monitoring process handle count

When using the command line:

Procdump "1956" -accepteula -e -m 250 -n 10 -h -c 75 -s 5   -mp "C:\dumps\cistray_1956.dmp" -p "\Process(CisTray_1956)\Handle Count" 15000

I am getting:

Error querying performance counter "\Process(CisTray_1956)\Handle Count": Error 0x800007D5 (-2147481643)

Error 0x800007D5 (-2147481643) appears to mean 'no data available'.  The procdump process closes afterwards.

But I don't get that error with the same command line in Procdump 5.14

The problem appears to be with the _1956 element in:

-p "\Process(CisTray_1956)\Handle Count" 15000

.....since if I use only the following where there is a single instance it works:

-p "\Process(CisTray)\Handle Count" 15000

But this is consistent with the syntax notes on the web page which say to use the following in the case of multiple instances:

- p "\Process(<name>_<pid>)\counter"

If anyone has any idea what I am doing wrong I would be very grateful

Best wishes
