snetcfg.exe under Vista?

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I have been using DDK utility snetcfg.exe on XP, but I am having problems with snetcfg.exe on Vista. The same set of driver is installed OK by snetcfg.exe on XP, but it has error during Vista installation. Does Vista has its own version of snetcfg.exe utility? I cannot find it in WDK 6000.

Thanks,
Charles

Best to say what kind of error you are seeing.

I have used a variation of BindView/SNEtCfg successfully on platforms from Windows 2000 through Vista.

Vista doesn’t have a new API that replaces the INetCfg APIs used in pre-Vista platforms. However, on Vista UAC can prevent the installation from being successful. Use the Run as Administrator tool to open a Command Prompt window and run your tool from there.

You can also examine the setupapi logs, which I believe are located in \Windows\Inf on Vista.

Good luck,

Thomas F. Divine

Yes, the INetCfg still functions well on Vista. Note, however, that the
INetSharingManager and related Internet Connection interfaces have
been broken there. Replaced by the Firewall API to some extent but
some caps like renaming network connections etc. have been lost for good.
