INetCfgLock

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to find out which process owns the INetCfgLock write lock?  I know about INetCfgLock::IsWriteLocked, which is returning S_OK, but it also returning NULL for the client description.

Thanks,

Nick

Answer 1

Hi,

If pszwClientDescription is NULL, when acquiring the lock with AcquireWriteLock(), IsWriteLocked() returns NULL for the description. I have seen some installers that does this :( Does your code show description if you lock InetCfg by going to Control Panel -> Network Connection -> right-click connection -> Properties. In that case, it should show the correct description.

Thanks for the information.  I passed it along to a coworker who is looking into this issue.
