New Post: Vista Ultimate 32bit - Crash

noams — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 14:30:41 GMT

I downloaded the code and started debugging it, here are my findings :
the export profile command doesn't creates the expected file name. The command is :

C:\Users\Noam\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\WirelessMigrator\WirelessMigrator\bin\Debug>wlan export profile name="SIEMENS-608CEC" Folder="C:\Users\Noam\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\WirelessMigrator\WirelessMigrator\bin\Debug"

and the created file name is "Wireless Network Connection.xml" and not "Wireless Network Connection-SIEMENS-608CEC.xml" as expected by the code.

I did changed the name of the connection as I have multiple of them and I need to identify them easly.

Is there any undocumented limitation on "netsh" file name creation that limit the length of it ?

Pretty slick, any idea how long it will take to support XP? It seems that Microsoft has changed Vista a bunch versus XP.

Commented Issue: Crash if SSID contains a .

Hi there
Thanks for your software - it's a great idea. I've just downloaded and ran it on a Server 2008 Enterprise 64bit notebook and it immediately stops working.

Is it not 64bit compatible?
