"netsh mbn add profile" fails with "Add Profile Failure: Invalid Profile XML"
I am in the process of adding a cellular modem to a device running Windows 10 IoT Core. I have just recently recreated the FFU I use to flash Windows IoT Core on to my device. In the past I have used this command to add a connection profile for the cellular modem:
netsh mbn add profile interface="Cellular" name="modem_connect_profile.xml"
With my new FFU, the interface name has changed from "Cellular" to "Cellular 23" so I updated the command to be:
netsh mbn add profile interface="Cellular 23" name="modem_connect_profile.xml"
However this results in the following error:
Add Profile Failure: Invalid Profile XML
I am confident that profile XML is well-formed and correct because when I execute the following command:
netsh mbn connect interface="Cellular 23" connmode=tmp name="modem_connect_profile.xml"
I see the following output when I execute:
netsh mbn show interfaces
There is 1 interface on the system:
Name : Cellular 23
Description : CDC MBIM
GUID : {052B63C8-1DC6-41C9-88FA-2432BB374165}
Physical Address : 88:bd:98:5b:52:48
Additional PDP Context : No (Physical interface)
Parent Interface Guid : No parent
State : Connected
Device type : Mobile Broadband device is embedded in the system
Cellular class : GSM

Firmware Version : 20.00.005

I have read that the cause of the Add Profile Failure: Invalid Profile XML message can be due to a previous profile but when I execute:
netsh mbn show profiles
I see:
Profiles on interface Cellular 23:

<None>
What other steps can I try to get my connection profile added to my system?
