WlanOpenHandle fails with error code 1062

Question

I am using the native Wifi Api to fetch the ssid on windows 8 machine but the "WlanOpenHandle" call always fails with the error code 1062. Any help?

Note: there is no wzc service on windows 8.

Answer 1

As confirmed by the OP, the proximate cause of the error was that the service "WLAN AutoConfig" was not running. This requirement does not seem to be documented; I've added a note in the community contributions section.
