A package deinstall removed my MS_NDISWANIP device. I cannot use my VPN link now. I tried to recreate it with netcfg and devcon. So far none of the commands I have tried have worked.

Devcon reports:

C:\Users\Dan>devcon install c:\windows\inf\netrasa.inf ms_ndiswanip
Device node created. Install is complete when drivers are updated...
Updating drivers for ms_ndiswanip from c:\windows\inf\netrasa.inf.
devcon failed.

I have tried to comment out the Excluded line in netrasa.inf, as was suggested on one thread. I have checked that the driver files that seem to needed are in system32. I checked a working system with a functioning VPN using the show hidden device device manager feature.

What am I missing? Need more files? Need to be in Safe Mode? There must be a way to get this device back and my VPN back up.

Your help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I resolved this. Apparently devcon could not add the drivers to the device file I created with the system running. A reboot allowed Vista to complete the device recreatio steps.
