I recently updated from Windows 98 to XP home edition. I
downloaded a file from my accountant and tried to unzip
it. It would not unzip and I received this error message:
"This application failed to start because ACE32.DLL was
not found". Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or
what this message actually means?
I would appreciate it! thanks.

Opening a Zip file should not, of itself, make a call for the ace32.dll
file. Everything I can find on google about this DLL is related to
databases or specific applications.

If the accountant sent a self-extracting zip file, the action of unzipping
may be trying to launch the contents automatically. And the file contents
may be in a form that needs a specific program to display properly - a
program that you don't have perhaps? Or a program that is not the right
version to handle this file?
