So what worked for me should work for you too (Hopefully).

Just uninstall the Kies you have on ur system and download an older version from the following link :

http://www.samsungmobile.co.uk/support/softwaremanuals/softwareKiesUpdate.do?phone_model=GT-S8500#how

I had tried multiple times and it gave me the same Rapi.dll missing error. But this did the trick.

Goodluck.
