DLink GWL-G630 Entry Point Problem - wlanapi.dll - Duckysan

Since upgrading my Acer laptop (Travelmate 2300) to XP SP3, I cannot use the
Dlink utility.  I receive the following error:

'The procedure entry point apsGetInterfaceCount could not be located in the
dynamic link library wlanapi.dll'
I have removed and re-installed the drivers/software, but no improvement.
Web search suggests compatibility problem with Dlink driver/dll.
Whilst I still have wireless connectivity, the Dlink utilities do not work.
It seems this is an SP3 issue - other users report the issue is resolved if
they revert back to SP2.
There must be a better resolution!

either use Windows native WZC features to manage the wireless
(uninstall the utility and keep the wireless) or contact D-Link
support/search their downloads for a fixed version.

Thanks for the comments.
It seems XPSP3 adds a new version of wlanapi.dll that conflicts and replaces
the Dlink DLL.  I have written to Dlink, but am not holding my breath.  The
following appears on the 'Tech ARP' site:

Certain device driver installations for some third-party wireless network
adapters also install a Wlanapi.dll which will be replaced by SP3 resulting
in errors.

This error message will appear during every restart after you install
Windows XP Service Pack 3 : "The procedure entry point apsSearchInterface
could not be located in the dynamic link library wlanapi.dll"

Impact : Low – Obtaining updated drivers for the WLAN device resolves this
issue
KB Content : KB 950720"

I'll check it out.

Wlanapi.dll is part of the new wireless API introduced quite long
ago in KB918997, and now integrated into SP3.

The Dlink package could include some other version of this dll,
because the Microsoft's wlanapi.dll does not have export
function named "apsSearchInterface".
IMHO Dlink should work with MS to resolve this issue.

It isn't just D-Link, that utility is supplied by the wireless
chipset manufacturer and customized by multiple folks using that
chipset. When they get bits from the source...

The D-Link AirPlus Utility does not work with Windows XP Service Pack 3. Upon loading, it displays: “AirGCFG.exe - Entry Point Not Found. The procedure enry point apsGetInterfaceCount could not be located in the dynamic link library wlanapi.dll.”.

A workaround is to use the pre-SP3 version of wlanapi.dll and place it in the appropriate directories. Upon loading, this version of the file will be used instead of the version in the System32 directory.



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

xcopy %Windir%\$NtServicePackUninstall$\wlanapi.dll "%ProgramFiles%\ANI\ANIWZCS2"

Unfortunately for my DI-624 did not work.

DLink GWL-G630 Entry Point Problem - wlanapi.dll - Duckysan - Barb Bowman

the DI-624 is a router, not a wireless card. You need to start a new
thread and describe the issue you are having and include the info on
the wireless card you are using.

Sorry, I put wrong data : indeed I have a wireless card DWL-G520 rev.B, with
which the problem is associated ( on top of that, yes, I have a router DI-624
but it does not relates to the issue :) ).

I updated DWL-G520 rev.B driver to version 4.40 ,as prescribed on
www.dlynk.com, for SP3 upgrades, and I still got two messages:

AirPlusCFG.exe Entry Point Not found apsGetInterfaceCount not located in the
dynamic link library wlanapi.dll

WZCSLDR2.exe Entry Point Not found aosInitialize not located in the dynamic
link library wlanapi.dll

So, the problem looks to be same as described above.

I tried to copy files as suggested above , did not work...

you don't actually need the DLink utility to manage the wireless.
you can use Windows built in features to do that. you can uninstall
the AirPlus config utility.
