Hi

I tried this and I'm stilling getting the missing .dll file error.
I even found and downloaded the wlanapi.dll and placed it in the respective
directory "%ProgramFiles%\D-Link\AirPlus G" and
"%ProgramFiles%\ANI\ANIWZCS2" - what am I doing wrong?

You're not using the "official" (or how they name it) driver
install/update software from the WLAN device vendor.
If the s/w package and instructions for SP3 problem are
not available on their site, call their support.
