Hi Tamir,

I am getting the same error as the other guys, with Vista with all patches installed. Did you manage to find the bug?

Thanks, and do let us know!

Hello,

I took a quick glance at your code and noticed that it uses the hard-coded English prefix for the profile-files.
I’m working on a Dutch Vista edition and profile files have a Dutch prefix, but your program is looking for a file with the English prefix.

Hopes this helps to fix the program, seems like quite a lot of people find it usefull!

Best regards,

aminal

Hello, I cannot get your program, wireless migrator to work in Vista, even if I run it in compatibility mode. Do you know of any vista updates or work arounds I can do.

To store and backup wireless network profiles, run BackupWireless.exe

Hi Tamir,
I get to have a new laptop every 2 or 3 years and BackupWireless.exe will be a life saver. I’m using Vista Ultimate, Service Pack 1 and get the same error as Benster. Could it be an issue with Service Pack 1? I tried disabling my virus scanner, and tried running from an administrator command prompt as well as just double clicking in Explorer.
Any thoughts?
