Re: WMI Exception - Provider Load Failure - Enumerating Network In

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Slobodan,

1. The app does work on XP Pro.
2. Our image is XPe SP2
3. We are using .Net 1.1 (the component included with SP2) We are running
with minlogon and therefore had to modify one of the dependencies of the .Net
component.
4. I believe our application requires .Net 1.1

We have narrowed down the code which is causes us problems right now to the
following:

public static ArrayList InstalledNetworkCardNames()
{
ArrayList nicNames = new ArrayList();

ManagementClass mc = new
ManagementClass("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration");
ManagementObjectCollection moc = mc.GetInstances();

foreach(ManagementObject mo in moc)
{
if((bool)mo["ipEnabled"])
{
nicNames.Add( mo["Caption"] );
}
}
return nicNames;
}

Thanks for your help,
-Jason
