Netgear update failure missing file
Trying to install latest update for Netgear Genie Version2.4.52 and it rejects saying missing file. See attachment. Should I totally uninstall and start all over Thanks for your help.

Looking at your picture, I thought that those three odd characters
were zeros, but, when I tried it myself, I saw that they were boxes,
possibly: ADVAPIPK<box><box><box>.DLL

And the other three were, apparently (merely), ".DLL", so probably
also invalid. The installer appears to be corrupt. Just more typical
Netgear quality control, apparently.
Same issue here. 3 .DLL errors with the 4th being ADVAPIPK.DLL not found.
Genie was buggy at best when it installed, now it's dead in the water.

Except that it's not "ADVAPIPK.DLL", it's "ADVAPIPK<junk>.DLL", where
<junk> seems to be three unprintable characters. There does seem to be
an "advapi32.dll" in the real world, but that proves little. There's
even less evidence as to what the three ".DLL" instances should have
been.
You have to wonder at the organizational talent in a company which
must still have dozens of paying victims, and can manage to post an
application kit like this with no actual testing of that kit. It's
remarkable.
