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.

Yes after much more research online I choose to take no more action concerning this version update to NetGear .Perhaps it was not a valid update and m/b more of a malicious file and shall just wait out any valid updates to NetGear versions I may receive in the future. I trust that my Bitdefender Total Security 2018 software application and all it's Active Protection Features/settings will take care of me to a far greater extent than what a NetGear Genie update version may offer me....because I feel confident that My ExpressVPN app is the 2nd layer of security for my access to the Net..I read alot of info that is reccomending removing NetGear Genie app for various security reasons but I have reviewed my NG Genie settings & feel secure that it is not a security risk for me.Thank you everyone who reponded to my querie.
