Unable to load DLL 'wlanapi.dll'

[heyquentin]

Hello, I'm running Winpeas x64 on a Server 2019 Standard machine and receiving an error. I've also seen this error on other newer Windows machines. I'm running 'winpeas.exe log' and receiving this error:

Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'wlanapi.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
   at winPEAS.Native.WlanApi.WlanCloseHandle(IntPtr clientHandle, IntPtr pReserved)
   at winPEAS.Wifi.NativeWifiApi.WlanClient.Finalize()

hello @heyquentin, thanks for reporting the issue. for wlan enumeration, we are currently using wlanapi.dll and after some investigation I found it might not be supported on every Windows version / release / type. I have not found a way around this, because of that I fixed the bug by using "netsh" command if wlanapi.dll API fails. Please check again after the PR with fix is merged, hopefully we can close the issue then :) thx
