RasSetEntryProperties Does Not Save a Full Path Script Name

 Last reviewed: August 13, 1997
Article ID: Q160190
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When using the RasSetEntryProperties API call to change the connection information for an entry in the phone book or create a new phone-book entry, the szScript parameter of the RASENTRY structure is not always preserved.

CAUSE

Although the RasSetEntryProperties API call does save the szScript value if it is the old Switch.inf style scripting, it does not save the szScript value if it is the full path to one of the new Windows 95-style scripts.

For example, this string value is correctly saved: 

   "[Generic login"
But this one is not saved: 

   "c:\\winnt\\system32\\ras\\pppmenu.scp"

WORKAROUND

Either use the old Switch.inf style scripting or obtain the hotfix described below.
