Install Airport Utility 5.0 without the installation CD

Good morning,
I am travelling and need to install the Airport Utility 5.0 for windows but I dont have the installation CD with me.
I have been trying to look for the installation files but cannot find them.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

As you've probably discovered, the installation software for Airport Utility is only available on the CD, and not on this website. However, there is a way to get the software, but it requires a bit of a hack on your part. Some of this relates to Vista, so if you are running XP I think that you can ignore 14-19.
1. You will need a program called Less_MSIerables:
http://blogs.pingpoet.com/overflow/archive/2005/11/16/14995.aspx
2. Download it to your desktop
Unzip that file (Should end up in your unzipped file folder)
3. Now, download Airport Extreme (works for Airport Express, too) software:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportbasestationupdate2007001forwindows .html
4. Run
5. A window will open that states "This Update requires AirPort Version 5.0 to be Installed". *Don't exit from this window.*
6. Instead, go Start ->start search and type in %temp%. Enter.
7. YOu will see a file folder called IXP050.TMP
8. Open it.
9. You should be able to see a file called APsetup.msi.
10. Click your mouse on it, but don't open it.
11. At the top of the window you will see if the address of this file. If not, click the yellow file folder in the address bar. Copy that address.
12. Next go to the folder in which you saved the unzipped version of Less_Msierables
13. In a subfolder you will see a file called Lessmsi.
14. Right-click on this file
15. Go to properties.
16. Go to compatability.
17. Run in XP Mode
18. Apply
19. OK
20. Again right-click on icon.
21. Run as administrator.
22. In the window that pops up, paste the address of Apsetup.msi
23. You will see a list of many files, but the one of the first will be APUtil.exe.
24. Extract this file to a location that you can easily find.
25. A file folder will appear with a name like cab#APSetup.cab1
26. Open that file folder and you will see a file APUtil.exe
27. Click on that file, and the admin utility will open. You should be able to find your airport device.
I suggest that you move this file to your desktop for easy access.

  • HT5022 trying to install airport utility 5.6 but during installation it says cleaning up then the installation fails how can I install the software

    I am trying to install airport utility on my mac with OS 10.7.5 to use my old airport express but during installation after it says cleaning up it stops installing with an error message an error occured.
    The software is from the Apple site and all it says is to contact the developer but cannot find out who to contact

    Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
    If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
    Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
    Run Pacifist.
    Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
    The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
    Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
    You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.

  • Installing Airport Utility 5.6.1 in order to configure older Airport Extreme/g model doesn't work as it won't install with OS 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. Solution?

    I need to configure Airport Extreme Base Station 802.11b/g but Airport Utility 6.3.1 will not work. 
    I found this page:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5022
    it recommends installing Airport Utility 5.6 which downloads as 5.6.1
    but it will not install on Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5
    so what to do?

    AirPort Utility 5.6.1 is for Snow Leopard. Use 5.6 for Lion or Mountain Lion.
    You can use the following workaround to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on a Lion or Mountain Lion Mac:
    Be sure to read the caveats at the end.
    Lion / Mountain Lion's package installer will refuse to install superseded versions of AirPort Utility. Instead you will need to use a package extractor such as Pacifist or unpkg. Pacifist is shareware, unpkg is free.
    Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Download unpkg here: http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    When the AirPort Utility .dmg file finishes downloading, open it to expand and reveal the AirPortUtility56.pkg package installer file.
    Directions for Pacifist (I do not have screenshots for unpkg but the idea is similar):
    Open Pacifist and from its File menu, navigate to the package and open it.
    Click the "reveal triangles" until you see AirPort Utility 5.6.app:
    Select it and then click Install from Pacifist's toolbar. It will then be installed in your Utilities folder, and you can quit Pacifist.
    The most recent version of AirPort Utility included with Mountain Lion should be used to configure 802.11n - capable AirPort Base Stations. Make no attempt to delete it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist. Use the older version only as necessary for older AirPort Base Stations that cannot be administered any other way.
    If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder instead of resorting to the above procedure. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
    Keep in mind that Apple's decision to abandon support for the original AirPort Express and AEBS was for reasons known only to them. Remember that you are using obsolete equipment, should some future OS X feature not work for you.

  • Cannot install Airport Utility 5.6 update.

    Cannot install Airport Utility 5.6 update.
    Trying to install my Airport extreme.  Macbook is running OSX lion 10.7.5  (Does anyone know why or have had a similar problem) ? Please Help

    AirPort Utility for Lion is for OS X version 10.7.2 only. It won't install on 10.7.5. It won't work for the newest 802.11ac AirPort Extreme either, so if you have one of them use the newest version of AirPort Utility.

  • Can't install Airport Utility 5.6 in OSX 10.7.5

    I have a 2005 Airport Extreme that I manage using an iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5. I recently tried to access my airport to check the IP address. Airport Utility could not access the Airport and told me that I needed to install Airport Utility 5.6 to access the Airport. I installed AU 5.6 and tried to access the Airport, but this time was told that this version of AU does not work with Mac OSX 10.7.5. So I downloaded AU 6.2. On this third attempt to access my Airport, I was told that this version of AU does not work with this Airport  and I need to install version 5.6. I'm stuck. Does anyone have any suggestions (other than buying a new Airport, that is).
    Thanks for the help,
    Paul

    Make sure you download it from this URL
    AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
    It should install without any difficulty.
    AU 5.6.1 is for the latest AirPort Base Stations for systems running Snow Leopard.
    NB from the following
    AirPort Base Station: How to set up and configure an 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express in OS X Lion
    If you are using OS X Lion and wish to set up or configure an older 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station, or 802.11g AirPort Express, manually download and install AirPort Utility 5.6. AirPort Utility 5.6 can be used to configure earlier 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station, and AirPort Express; it can also be used for 802.11n AirPort base stations.
    To obtain and use AirPort Utility 5.6:
    Go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/.
    Search for AirPort Utility 5.6 and download it.
    Allow AirPort Utility 5.6 to install.
    Open AirPort Utility from the /Applications/Utilities folder.
    Note: If you are configuring or setting up a newer AirPort Base Stations that support 802.11n, you should use AirPort Utility 1.0 for iOS or AirPort Utility 6.0 for OS X Lion, or later.
    You can have both AirPort Utility 6.0 and 5.6 in the /Applications/Utilities folder.
    AirPort Utility 5.6 will appear in the /Applications/Utility folder as "AirPort Utility 5.6"
    AirPort Utility 6.0 will appear as "AirPort Utility"

  • Installed Airport Utility 5.6.1; now "Server Connection Interrupted"

    Software Update just prompted me to install Airport Utility 5.6.1, which I did.  Since then Time Machine has done two backups, and both times I have received multiple messages saying "Server Connection Interrupted" and showing an icon of my Time Capsule.  I have always clicked ignore, and the backup has seemed to continue.  I hope the backups are accurate, but I don't really know.  All insights welcome.  Thank you.

    Time Machine has been backing up without incident for a couple of days now, so I guess the problem must've been with my ISP and the timing with the update just coincidental.  Doesn't look as if anyone else has had a similar problem.

  • How to format HDD and reinstall OS on macbook pro mid 2010 without the installation DVD.

    After updated the OS with MAVERICKS becomme my macbook very slow. So I want to format the HDD and reinstall the OS but without the installation DVD - (lost).
    Could some one advise me how to proceed? Thank you

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X Lion and newer include OS X Recovery to reinstall Mac OS X without the need of a DVD. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    First of all, copy your most important files to an external drive, or make a backup of your files. Then, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting, open Disk Utility and erase Macintosh HD by choosing it in the Disk Utility's sidebar and going to Erase tab.
    Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X

  • Why doesn't airport utility on pc recognize the extreme?

    Got my parents to buy anAiport Extreme and new iPad.  Coudln't get their ancient PC to recognize the airport extreme, even with the airport utility for windows.
    Set it up using my iPhone incredibly.  Can they edit/change settings now with their iPad?  Thx.

    Can they edit/change settings now with their iPad?
    Yes, if AirPort Utility is installed on the iPad.
    It is likely that the Windows Firewall or the anti-virus application(s) on the PC were blocking the connection attempt from AirPort Utility.
    That is the first thing to check if you need to connect from the PC.

  • Error Installing Airport Utility on OSX 10.8.2

    I can't install Airport Utility on OSX 10.8.2 so that I can install Airport Extreme.  Error message says the version of Mac OS X is not supported.  What can I do? Easily!

    You have to install AirPort Utility from the disc if you're using Windows on your PC, so that's because Apple doesn't say it. Also, you could have bought an old AirPort Extreme that includes an older AirPort version for another Mac OS X

  • Uninstaller utility does not remove the installation from the registry

    In our environment, we publish a script in Group Policy so that both the ActiveX and Plugin installs for flash player are easily installed for staff that have limited user access on their computers.  I usually remove or replace the old MSI files from the path the above script installs from when I get new versions of Flash Player.  For a while, I've run into a problem where when the new MSI files are installed, they try to uninstall the existing installation and fail because the old MSI file is no longer at the original installation source path.  I've tried to remedy this by having the script use the uninstall_flash_player utility to manually remove the activex and plugin first, but this utility does not remove the installation details of each from the registry, and the subsequent installations of the MSI files fail.  I have to uninstall the existing flash player installations first or perform a registry hack to formally remove the installation from Windows, and then the new installation will succeed.
    Does anybody have any advice for making this process work better?  Would this be considered a bug with the uninstaller tool?

  • Airport Utility did not see the base station.

    When I bought Airport Extreme I didn't succeed installing it. Airport Utility DID NOT see the base station.
    With Apple assistance I first 'FOUND' the base connecting it to my Intel iMac through ethernet. Later I was able to finish the setup wireless through Airport utility. It works fine and I saved the configuration.
    Now I wish to reinstall Leopard initializing the computer in order to make some major cleanup.
    Shall I be able to reinstall Airport opening the saved configuration or might I found some of previous problems (base not found) again?
    I would appreciate any meaning of yours.

    i cannot install airport utility 5.6 onto my computer although i need it to configure an older airport express and base station

    Here is my method.. the software is free that is required.. always a good point.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
