WLAN IHV security types do not show up when WlanUIEditProfile is called.

Hi friends,

I am currently developing an application that works on the Windows Vista 32 and 64 bit versions, that would try to open the WLAN profiles already created and launch the"Wireless Network Properties" window to edit the profile from the application. I have an Intel Wireless adapter and am unable to view the Intel Security types and Encrytion types when I launch the"Wireless Network Properties" window usingWlanUIEditProfile(), and using theWlanIhvControl() APIs.

I created the profile using Windows Vista->Network and sharing center and set Intel CCKM security type.

I tried to open the profile from my application - it doesn't show the Intel IHV security options. I have exported the profile XML, viewed and can confirm that it has IHV element in it, but am still unable to view the IHV options from my application.

Have anyone had this kind of issue and can guide me on how go about resolving this?

I would really appreciate your time and valuable input in this regard.

Thanks,

Danny

Hi Danny,

I am also facing the same issue. I think windows vista run time component is failing.

It looks like Windows Vista API Native WiFi-Component issue.

Microsoft has any solution for this issue ?

Hi All,

I think most Vista 64 bit native Wi-Fi API's have these kind of issues

I would appreciate if Microsoft respond ASAP

Thanks and Regards

Hi Vinod,

Its weird that we are going through similar issues. But have you got any solution for this? Which run-time component do you think is failing? It would be really great if you can give some valuable information.

Thanks in advance,

Danny

Hi Gajendrahari,

I am having this issue on 32 bit as well as 64 bit Windows Vista machines that I have tried my code on, not just on 64 bit Vista. Thanks for your input. I will let you know if I have any solution to this.

Hi Danny,

This looks like the communication between is WLIHVUI.dll and the application is not proper.

Did Microsoft has any other solution to showup the UI which also has IHV specific Wi-Fi protocol specifications?

Could you try using Dumpbin to extract the methods in WLIHVUI.dll and try to invoke the UI which could also show IHV specific protocols?

Let me know if this helps?
