Hi,
There is one thing worth trying first. The geteduroam application, which you probably know for Android, also has a Windows version - see https://www.geteduroam.app/
Perhaps it will just run without any problems and install the profiles for everyone.
If that does not work you can try the CAT installer with my
recent fix.
I have added a small change which will go over the problem with wlan_test, but I strongly suspect that the restrictions you have for your users might cause some more errors. This installer is calling one more utility which installs user's credentials, it this gets blocked as well then there could be one more option, just let me know.
The CAT installers are cached, but tomorrow the cache will most likely be cleared.
Cheers
Tomasz
I have this problem for all my users who are not in the group of local administrators.
Best regards
But are you sure that this problem will appear for all these users? If so, I can prepare a quick fix, but since this is the first time it was reported I thought that this really is a very special case.
Tomasz
Hi.
Thanks for the feedback.
The Wireless interfaces is totally functional on another
SSID. The problem comes with wlan_test.exe witch requires
more rights to execute without errors.
I can configure manually the eduroam SSID but I want to use
eduroam CAT because it's easier to my thousand of users.
Maybe can I do more exhaustive investigations with you help
?
Best regards
So,
the whole mess is caused by the failure with
wlan_test.exe. I never saw this problem before. The
program gets banned and the result recorded by the
installer is not recognised, therefore on the one hand it
keeps going but on the other it does not install any
wireless profiles.
The only cause for running wlan_test is to check if there are any wireless interfaces installed on the system. I suppose the lesson to be learned from this example is to take another look at wlan_test and possible problems it might cause.
If this error is not causing any major problem for your university, I will for now put it on my TODO list
Cheers

Hi.
I have executed the installer with -DEBUG=4 parameter.
I got the CAT.log file in attachment.
I have a look at it. I try to execute C:\Users\mpires\AppData\Local\Temp\wlan_test.exe and I got a message saying that this program was blocked by my administrator.
Best regards
I have tested your profile installer with a user without any admin privileges and it went just fine.
You could try to run the installer in a command window with an option -DEBUG=4. The installer will then create a log file with additional info. I will also leave undeleted XML profiles, including the one with the user password, so you might test it with some fake user data.
Cheers
Tomasz
OK.
I expect for your feedback.
Windows installers normally run without admin
privileges except for the case when a wired
network profile is supposed to be installed as
well (but this is something that institution
administrators set very rarely).
The installers have been used very many times and users do not have such problems. I will test your installer later, even without a valid account it is possible to veriy the installation results.
Yours

Hello everyone.
The CAT installer is very practical.
I'm encountering a recent difficulty that I
can't resolve because I'm not a Microsoft
expert.
When I use CAT for Windows 10, if I am not a
local administrator of my machine, the installer
runs without errors but does not create any
entries in known Wifi networks.
When I use CAT for Windows 10, as local
administrator of my machine, the installer also
runs without problems and the connection to the
eduroam Wifi is established automatically. Two
entries are created in the known Wifi networks
"eduroam(R) via partner" and "eduroam(R)".
Why does this installer not work correctly when
the user is not in the local Administrators
group ?
Thanks for you help.
Best regards
