wlanapi.dll error after SP3 (D-Link)

Hi

I tried this and I'm stilling getting the missing .dll file error.
I even found and downloaded the wlanapi.dll and placed it in the respective
directory "%ProgramFiles%\D-Link\AirPlus G" and
"%ProgramFiles%\ANI\ANIWZCS2" - what am I doing wrong?

You're not using the "official" (or how they name it) driver
install/update software from the WLAN device vendor.
If the s/w package and instructions for SP3 problem are
not available on their site, call their support.

Hi. thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately for me I unistalled sp3 when
I first starting experiencing this problem. I then came across solutions
posted across the web similar to yours but when I tried it it didn't work i
believe becuase the wlanapi.dll was no longer located in
%Windir%\$NtServicePackUninstall$\ - but I am still getting the same error
messages even when I try to reinstall my dlink software. I have tried to find
the latest dlink software from their site [for my dwl g630 rev a] but it has
made no difference. Does anyone know where I can locate the pre-sp3
wlanapi.dll file [228kb] or an alternative solution?

Ive tested a different wireless card from a friend and it works fine on my
laptop. otherwise it looks like i will have to rebuild my machine or buy a
new card!

Hi there, I still couldn't solve the problems after update SP3. It still pop up the error messages plus no internet connection. Any idea to totally solve this?

nightstar

Hi. Youll find the wlanapi.dll tha Youve had before installing SP3 from the
location below described. If You run those tools on Your cmd, You can get the
file to somewhere safe. With D-link DWL-G122 this worked.

Hope this helps. This is staightforwardly copied from another page here in
microsoft site.

xcopy %Windir%\$NtServicePackUninstall$\wlanapi.dll
"%ProgramFiles%\D-Link\AirPlus G"
xcopy %Windir%\$NtServicePackUninstall$\wlanapi.dll
"%ProgramFiles%\ANI\ANIWZCS2"

A *way* better idea is to get the latest SP3 compatible version
of the vendor WLAN drivers.

A long time passed since SP3, all vendors have their stuff updated.
The poor guy guilty for that DLL name conflict with the MS Wireless update
probably will get back to work from jail soon

Did you notice that this thread is dated Feb 14, 2009. I guess the
people who were looking for a solution have long since found it
elsewhere.
