Error calling method INetCfgClassSetup::Install after upgrading to VS 2005

Hello All,
We are facing an exception while calling Install method as
below. The exception
says:

"An Exception occurred while trying to run "Shell32.dll,
Control_RunDLL "C:\Program
Files\XFrame\Protocol\xconfig.cpl"" Later it crashes with message
"The instruction at
... referenced memory at ..., Memory could not be read. Click OK to
terminate the
program".

While debugging the following error messages are printed in the Output
window while executing the Install method:
First-chance exception at 0x7c82a36b in rundll32.exe: 0xC0000005:
Access violation reading location 0xfdfdfdfd.
AtlThrow: hr = 0x8007000e

exception: SE_Exception at memory location 0x0007d058..


This worked fine in VS 2003. We have upgraded the projects to VS 2005
after which this
error started occurring.

Can anyone help in solving this problem? Any clues will be
appreciated.

INetCfg * m_pnc;
INetCfgClass *pncNetClass = NULL;
INetCfgClassSetup *pncNetClassSetup = NULL;
INetCfgComponent *pnccMiniport = NULL;
.....

HRESULT hr;
hr = m_pnc->QueryNetCfgClass(&GUID_DEVCLASS_NET,
IID_INetCfgClass,

reinterpret_cast<PPVOID>(&pncNetClass));
if (S_OK == hr)
{
hr = pncNetClass->QueryInterface(IID_INetCfgClassSetup,

reinterpret_cast<PPVOID>(&pncNetClassSetup));
if (S_OK == hr)
{
::CoFreeUnusedLibraries();
PTCHAR ptMiniPortName = Util::GetMiniportName();
hr = pncNetClassSetup->Install(ptMiniPortName,
NULL,
NSF_POSTSYSINSTALL,
0,
NULL,
NULL,
&pnccMiniport );
}
}

With regards,
Phaniram.

1 - Try linking agains DDK Libraries. I usually use Server 2003 DDK with VS
for Include/Link and it has worked for me.
2 - You should not use INetCfg interfaces to install devices of
GUID_DEVCLASS_NET. Switch to SetupDi APIs instead (unless it is a part of an
IM driver, where you Install protocol edge, which then triggers install of
network edge).

Hi Rohit,
Thanks very much for your response. 'Linking again' means just
removing the ddk folders from include and lib sections? and again
adding it and compiling? Even doing that didn't solve the problem.
We also have another problem. INetCfg:: Initialize is failing with
E_FAIL sometimes. Therefore the subsequent call
hr = m_pnc->EnumComponents( &GUID_DEVCLASS_NET, &pencc );
is returning 0x8007002 - The system cannot find the file specified.

Failing code:
INetCfg * m_pnc;
hr = m_pnc->Initialize(NULL);
hr = m_pnc->EnumComponents( &GUID_DEVCLASS_NET, &pencc );

What could be the reason for this behavior?

Regards,
Phaniram.

sorry for the typo -- I meant 'Linking against'.
I point VS to DDK Include and Lib directories and remove any references to
VS original include/lib directories.
if this did not resolve the problem, i think you should try in VS/Compiler
related forums. Sorry!

INetCfg:: Initialize usually fails because COM has not been initialized --
see if thats is being done.

Again, try using Devcon utility to install your NET class driver.
