Wlanapi.dll

Post by GeorgeBob »

Thanks in advance for your answer. When I start Rainmeter 1.3 rev. 560, I get an error message that "wlanapi.dll cannot be found" but Rainmeter appears to work OK otherwise. What is "wlanapi.dll" and where is it supposed to be? Do I need it? If not, how can I get rid of that annoying (and pointless) error message?

It's needed by the WifiStatus plugin. Simply close all Wifi/Wireless skins and it should go away.

With XP, you need either SP3 or a specific hotfix. Although, I thought that this was resolved in a later release of the plugin... Here is the link for the hotfix: Wireless LAN API (KB918997)

When you install the hotfix, make sure to reboot before starting Rainmeter.
