Microsoft MN-520

[bddotnet]

I am trying to install a Microsoft MN-520 wirless network adapter (PCMCIA) on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 400CDT laptop. The CD requires Microsoft Universal Plug and Play to be installed, yet when it installs it and reboots, it says that C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\upnp.dll is either not installed or corrupted. I checked the SYSTEM folder and the file is there. I tried copying it from the CD to the SYSTEM folder and the same error still occurs. My only other idea/option is to d/l the file from the internet or my Windows 98CD and copy it to the SYSTEM folder.

Any suggestions?

Perhaps the DLL file is not getting "registered" for some reason. There was a command you could run from the command line to register DLLs. Lemme see if I can find it.

Aha -- From http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108199 :

regsvr32 "C:\Windows\System32\upnp.dll"

Adjust the path as necessary.

Good luck,
Kevin

The response was:

LoadLibrary ("upnp.dll") failed.
GetLastError returns __x00000085.

I can't remember what was in front of the x.

Hmm. Well, since the original error message indicated the file may be corrupted, here's one place to download it:

OK. I downloaded that file and replaced it on the laptop in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. I rebooted and it still didn't work.

Upgrade your OS.

I may just put Linux on the laptop and install the MN-520 then.
