DLL are shared pieces of code used by any program that needs them. The system directy (probably C:\Windows\System32\) is where most shared Libraries and Controls are kept, your programs will always be able to find them there.
However, the Windows System folder is frankly VERY insecure. It's where viruses live. Programs will always look for a DLL or OCX file locally (in the same folder) first. Odd DLLs that are needed only by a specific program I always put in the same folder as the programs .EXE file. It is much safer that way.
You can usually find that program EXE folder in \Program Files\. I would put the DLL in there.

It belongs in C:\Windows\System folder.
Make sure that you do not have another one in there already that is newer than the one you just downloaded (probably not since the other program is probably complaining about it missing).
I had to download this recently for the ability to convert my music projects to MP3 for the ION USB Turntable.
