Problem copying wifi network settings to USB

I need to configure about 25 computers to use our wifi network so I would like to copy the settings to a USB drive and install them from there.  On my Windows 7 machine when I go into the wifi properties and select "Copy this network profile to a USB flash drive" the next window opens that says "Insert a USB flash drive into this computer, Plug in a USB drive to continue".  I plug in my flash drive it gives a message that the driver is installing and  I can see it in Windows explorer.  But the "Next" button on the "Copy Network Settings" window stays grayed out and I can't continue.   I know I've done this in the past on this computer but I can't get it to work now.  I tried this on two different windows 7 machines with the same result.  I've tried 2 different USB drives - same result.

Any ideas?

I am in a domain environment but these 25 users are visitors so are not on our domain.  I ended up using the netsh commands (which I got from the Powershell solution above) to export the wlan profile and then in a batch file to apply the profile to each user.
