It appears that the netsh command does not install bridges, but only
configures them.

If it comes to the worst, I am ready to go down the API route.

Hi
May be you should clarify what are you looking to Install.
Bridge is a special configuration between two Network Cards, there is
nothing to Install.

I mean whether GUI procedure of selecting two adapters in the
networking page and bridging them, or selecting one and adding it to
the brige has its equivalent in the netsh code, or some other similar
scripting method.

The netsh bridge command does not allow you to create the bridge
itself. It only allow configuration of the bridge after its has been
manually configured in the Network Connections panel.

Is there a registry approach on an API substitue for the manual way?
