Hi @minanagehsalalma yes it requires permissions to work

Hi @minanagehsalalma yes it requires permissions to work

@warengonzaga but why ? It works on win 8 and 10 without it ....
Is this for all commands or just the export or command ?
Does doing it one network by one manually fixes it ?

[warengonzaga]

@minanagehsalalma it works well in Windows 8 and 10 but I'm not sure in Windows 7... I will try it on my VM if it will work... I guess there is a command in the program that is unknown to Windows 7.

[minanagehsalalma]

Okay ... Try it and tell me.

[warengonzaga]

@minanagehsalalma I found the issue working on a fix...

[minanagehsalalma]

What was it ?

[warengonzaga]

@minanagehsalalma the way how it checks for admin privileges...

[minanagehsalalma]

So would it still require admin privileges to work ?

[warengonzaga]

@minanagehsalalma it should be run in admin state... since some part of the program needs an admin privilege... will get back to you once fix is available.

[minanagehsalalma]

Which part require admin privileges? It should work fine without it !

@minanagehsalalma in your copy open the .bat file and remove lines 36 to 42 and 48 to 66 and run it as admin. It should work... but I'm working on a fix so you don't have to do this in the next version.

[minanagehsalalma]

"it runs it as admin." Without me running it as administrator?!

[warengonzaga]

@minanagehsalalma nope... it was a typo... "and run it as admin."

[minanagehsalalma]

Back to point zero... Netsh doesn't require admin privileges for it to work...why does your tool require it ?

[warengonzaga]

Some part of it the program requires admin privileges... I'm currently working on it... and if admin privileges not really needed I will remove it.

This is not a Tool for Users instead its for Admins - for me its totally ok to do it with admin rights It would be nice to enter my credentials anywhere in the script so i didnt have to type em in.

[warengonzaga]

@rewind99 thanks... but as per checking... the program still works even without admin rights... so the admin checking part is kind of useless... I might remove it... and change the program for users. Let me work on the fix...

[rewind99]

At least its always possible to right click and run as admin...

[warengonzaga]

@rewind99 and @minanagehsalalma this issue has been fixed! Check release 2.5.0
https://github.com/WarenGonzaga/wifi-passview/releases/tag/2.5.0

Let me know if you need any help... I'm closing this now...

[minanagehsalalma]

Some part of it the program requires admin privileges.

@warengonzaga which part exactly that requires that all the options in netsh works without admin privileges.

@rewind99 why do you think this a tool for admins ?
It should be for everyone not just admins !

[minanagehsalalma]

@warengonzaga thanks for the update mate ;) really appreciate it
