HELP: failed to deploy and run WL performance monitor, console extension

Question

Hi All
i downloaded and installed the WL performance monitor, console extension package
at http://commerce.bea.com/products/weblogicserverconsoleextension/wlsext_home.jsp
As i tried to deploy "performance monitor" web app to the WL server at "Performance
Monitor > Installation Instructions " screen. I just saw the error msg
weblogic.management.ManagementRuntimeException: weblogic.management.ApplicationException:
[J2EE:160029]I/O error while reading deployment - java.io.FileNotFoundException:
No such path: null\java\FenwayWL.war.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: No such path: null\java\FenwayWL.war
     at weblogic.j2ee.J2EEUtils.getDeploymentInfo(J2EEUtils.java:191)
     at weblogic.j2ee.J2EEUtils.getDeploymentInfo(J2EEUtils.java:155)
     at weblogic.j2ee.J2EEApplicationContainerFactory.initializeDeployment(J2EEApplicationContainerFactory.java:452)
     at weblogic.management.deploy.DeployerRuntime.unprotectedActivate(DeployerRuntime.java:833)
Therefore, i used workaround to manually copy "PerformanceMonitor.war" and "FenwayWL.war"
to <Domain Home>/applications directory for manual deployment. However, it seems
of no use. I still failed to carry out any operations through "performance monitor"
node at left panel of admin console. For e.g, i failed to enable "resources" and
"statistics" monitoring option at "Performance Monitor > Agent Configuration "
screen. Very thankful somebody can help me to sort out my problem. My platform
is win2000 + WL 8.1 sp1
thanks u very much in advance.

In order to find the PerformanceMonitor web app, the ConsoleExt needs to
examine your classpath to get the appropriate WLHOME. It does this by
searching for .../server/lib/weblogic.jar. Please make sure your CLASSPATH
is correct and matches where PerformanceMonitor is installed. For example,
the path to .../server/lib/weblogic.jar is the same as to ../common/perf. In
my world, they both happen to be d:\bea\weblogic81.
