I just tested is as well on an unmanaged Win11, which had the old eduroam® on it. The old one was deleted, new eduroam is installed, so for me it also works.
Should you find something strange, it would be great if you could dim the debug mode and mail me the log.
Cheers

Ok so just tried on the win11 device and yes it is as you said loads both , I am sure it didn’t do that this morning ☹. From what you said below on the managed PC win10 I was looking for the additional eduroam profile but it was probably trying to over write the company policy installed eduroam.
Thankyou for the information on the open roaming profile, I will updated the other engineers on what they should see. (ie no ® )

We dropped the eduroam® name for the profile since people were complaining. Now if you run an installer it is supposed to install the eduroam profile and delete the previous eduroam@ if it finds one.
Can you run the installer form the command line with -DEBUG=4 ? the produced CAT.log should have the details.

The one in the original picture was a policy installed eduroam. I have tried on unmanaged PCs and only the one profile is installed , in the past the Eduroam profile from the website was called Eduroam® .

Hi,
CAT installers always install a profile named "eduroam" with SSID "eduroam" and on network cards supporting HotSpot 2.0 it also installs a profile called "eduroam via partner" with SSID "cat-passpoint-profile".
If you call "netsh wlan show profiles" then you should see them.
This second profile is added so that the device can be ready for a special use case, which is not jet much used - still it is better to give uses all possible chances of connecting.. Some service providers have agreed to accept eduroam users but not by broadcasting eduroam SSID. Instead they use HotSpot 2.0 on whatever SSID they like and announce the RoamingConsortium identifier - 001bc50460, which is reserved for eduroam.
If a Windows device is in the range of such a network, Windows network selection will probably show something like "the_actual_ssid, eduroam via partner" - this changes with Windows versions and I am not sure what is the actual message. Your device should connect to such a network automatically. The SSID does not matter in such a case, but it cannot be empty in the config, therefore we just set it to "cat-passpoint-profile".
If you are in the range of an SSID eduroam and also such HS 2.0 network, the SSID is supposed to take precedence.
So I think that all is fine with the installer and the standard eduroam connection should work without any problems.
Yours
Tomasz Wolniewicz

Issue seems to be the SSID is incorrect and Hotspot2 added. Tried with no hotspot config , didnt work. changes SSID but left hotspot2 and didnt work. Only works when no hotspot 2 config and the correct SSID
below is what comes form the website

<SSID>

Subject: Catool issue
Have you had any reports that when using Catool on a windows device , it installs and shows as a managed network but does not show as an available network to connect to?
