While trying to run the setup program for Dlink Wireless card, Setup fails
"Can not install Installsheild Scripting Runtime"

Any clue to which components I need to include for this?

Richard,

Start with "Dos Windows on Windows Support" and "Windows Installer Service"
components.

Since you are trying to run your install package at run time (may not be a
good idea, btw) analyze your package dependencies and make sure they are in
the Configuration.

Richard,

Let us know if it helped.
Then others who search in the archive in future will hit possible
resolution.

After adding "Dos Windows on Windows Support" and "Windows Installer
Service" InstallShield still fails with "Can not install Installsheild
Scripting Runtime" so those did not help.

Making a component for the Dlink Wireless Ethernet DWL-122 got it up and
running, however one one must manually configure the "Preferred Network"
each time.

In Windows/Network Control Panel under Wireless, scanning never finds a
network. However if you type in the Preferred Network name then rescan it
finds it. Cool, so you click okay and it works, but XPe is not saving the
information. You have to do this each time, even if you have "Connect to
any available network" checked it doesn't make a difference.

In XP Pro it works perfect. Something is missing in the wireless
configuration. Pretty much all I have is Zero Configuration Wireless in my
build, plus my normal network stuff.

I could always try a different USB to Wireless adapter if that may make any
difference. Have any you used before?

Richard,

I can't help you here and it is going to be up to you to continue the
investigation.
But I just wanted to mention that a long while ago I was playing with DLink
AirPlus app on XPe and it worked pretty well. Wireless settings were
persistnet through reboot if I recall it correctly.
I did not make any component out of the utility or DLink drivers that time.
I was testing some stuff on XPProEmulation image (www.xpefiles.conm/
Development Utilities/Main folder) that time and played with wireless only
to get a convenient network connection.
Anyway, the point is that it worked and worked well on XPeProEmulation.

For your installer issue as well as for the wireless settings, you always
have an option of using tools like Regmon/Filemon, Regsnap/Inctrl5.
I know it is a routine and sometimes tedious work but this is all about
developing new XPe components.
