WININET_E_TCPIP_NOT_INSTALLED

WININET_E_TCPIP_NOT_INSTALLED is a WinINet HRESULT. It means that WinINet cannot use the TCP/IP networking stack required for the operation. The stack may be disabled, damaged, unavailable in the active network namespace, or incorrectly configured by policy or an endpoint-security product.

What to check

  • Confirm that the TCP/IP stack is enabled and that the machine has a usable network interface, route and DNS configuration.
  • Test name resolution and a direct connection to the target outside the application.
  • Investigate network-policy, VPN, firewall and endpoint-security changes that may have altered the stack configuration.
