Manage Airport Express from Windows computer

Is it possible to manage the Airport Express from a Windows computer?

Most of the posts here deal with connection problems from windows to the device - my problem is that I no longer have a macintosh and so I no longer have access to the airport admin utilty.

Does Apple provide a set of admin tools that run on Windows?

Yes, the AirPort 4.2 for Windows software should do the trick.

It does not work for the airport express. At least I have been unable to get it to work. "An error occurred while trying to access the base station" Is the error I get. iTunes has no problem playing it.

I used to be able to access my Airport Expresses with the software that came with it. But unfortunately I lost my disk and can 't find the right software to download anywhere. It's all for the airport and not the airport express.

Very disappointed with Apple's support for such an expensive device.

I suggest that you try a "factory default" reset on your AX, and then, try configuring it again.
