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
> [...] get 4 error messages claiming missing .DLL files.
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.

Experiencing same issue - anyone at Netgear working on a solution?

Yes have tried to install Genie 2.4.52 3 times but same problem missing files.
I have reported to support, but will anything happen?
I doubt it. So just stick with your current version until someone gets out of bed to fix it.

And, speaking of versions, why does this kit have a version-free name
like "NETGEARGenie-install.exe"? Firmware kit file names include
version information; why not application program kit file names?
