Adding Wireless WPA password during install?


Recommended Posts


I would assume that if it is stored in the registry, it must be stored encrypted. You may want to give RegShot a try or something similar to see what the results are. My only concern would be that if it is stored in the registry encrypted, would it be stored the same every time? Or is there some kind of hash function going on that makes it machine dependant.

That's sweet :thumbup I really wasn't looking forward to tackling this one. I always make things way more complex than they need to be. Thanks for the link and proggy.

EDIT: And I just KNEW it was going to be one of those weird rundll32.exe command lines. Those things drive me nuts. Do you have a link to a comprehensive list of the rundll32 command lines?

Nope. Just right-click/properties on the Wizard shortcut in start/progs/accessories/communication. B)

Well, in fact version 0.1 was much more complicated and involved creating a shortuct to the wireless connection itself (since its GUID change from one install to the other), then using the neighboring networks assistant, and so on. In french we call that a gas plant (many pipes -> ugly).

That was before I happened to come across this cute shortcut and asked its phone number. Love followed. :blushing:;)

Feedback appreciated.

I made a little thingy for my own, it's simple and straight forward :) I't works flawless for me an is very easy to setup.

You will need to get the txt for the dialogs from your OS language as I made this on Norwegian OS. The Title is automatic, but each windows text needs to be changed.

Ofcourse you also need to input your SSID and WEP/WPA.

Did you attach something or not?

I can't find any attachment in this thread although it is marked as having one... :wacko:

Anyway, you've just sting my curiosity by saying you could find the wireless dialog title automatically: that's just the only parameter (except for SSID & WEP/WPA, of course) that I couldn't automate in AutoWEP.

So I spend a couple of hours on it and eventually found the solution :thumbup

I've posted a new and much simpler (not that it was very complicated) version of AutoWEP in its thread.

Maybe you could share your little thingy here so users will have a choice?

Thank you !

I still think you'r script is a bit overkill Djé ;) although it's nicely done.

Indeed, you may be right. But that was my first AutoIt Script, and still being a little boy, I was quite proud of it ;) and wanted it to be perfect!

Now I can only think of one more feature to add to it...

Anyway, I learned a lot making it, including the last improvment. Thanks again!
