airport express missing dll

AirPort Utility would not be needed on a PC unless you were trying to change the stored network settings on a Time Capsule. If it has been previously set up and configured, AirPort Utility is really only needed on one device to administer the Time Capsule.

What is it that you are trying to do?

The other issue here is that even if you do need to have AirPort Utility installed on a PC, the most recent version of AirPort Utility for Windows has not been updated by Apple since Windows 7, so it is not likely to work on a Windows 10 machine. I don't have a PC here to test, but maybe one of the Windows guys will see this post and help us out.

AirPort Utility will not do anything to help you, even if you can install it on the PC.

You need backup software for the PC that will recognize a network drive......like the Time Capsule. The software that you have been trying to use will only work if you have a USB hard drive connected directly to your PC.

Frankly, it is much, much easier for the PC to back up if the hard drive is connected directly to the PC, as a USB drive would be.

I'm not recommending that you attempt back up the PC to the Time Capsule, but if you want to try anyway, take a look at the following software which is capable of backing up a PC to a network drive.

Sorry, but nothing in the information about Backup 2 that I can find indicates that it will back up to a network drive. If it can, then the support folks will have to tell you how to set up the software to do that.

Try the following:

• Settings > System > Apps & features
• Select Bonjour Print Service
• Select Modify > Repair > Finish

You basically have two choices here:

1. Install Bonjour for Windows. The Bonjour Print Service option should now appear in the Apps & features option.
2. Uninstall Bonjour. I'm assuming that you upgraded to Windows 10 and this may have been a "left-over" from an earlier Windows installation.

I had a chance to try this myself and found that Bonjour for Windows is NOT required ... but won't hurt if installed.

What I did to duplicate (& resolve) this issue was the following:

• Move or delete the following file from the C:\Windows\System32 folder: dnssd.dll (Note: This is the Bonjour Client Library and is required by the AirPort Utility. If this file is missing would be the main reason you are getting the error message. However, even if is present, it may not be properly registered in the Windows Registry. That is, as far as Windows is concerned, it doesn't exist.)
• Download the AirPort for Windows installer. (Note: As Bob has mentioned this utility has not been updated since Windows 7. It will run on Win7, Win8, Win8.1, & Win10 but it will not work with the latest 802.11ac AirPort base stations. It should be fine with the 802.11n models.)
• Run the installer using "Run as administrator" privileges. (Note: If you get the option to Repair or Uninstall, choose the Uninstall option. Allow the uninstall process to complete. The Bonjour application should now be missing in the Apps & features listing.)
• If you didn't get the Repair/Uninstall dialog window, then let the installer install AirPort for Windows in its default folder.
• You should now be able to run the AirPort utility without any "missing DLL" error messages.

Thank you, Tesserax!

You are a GREAT PERSON!
