Extracting IP Files

I'm going to be lazy, so forgive me :) Normally I search the forum before posting, but it's been a long week. I bought IconPackager last week. I have version 3.20. I downloaded several very nice icon packages from Wincustomize and Deviantart. If I try to load these packages using IconPackager's "Load" function I get an error that I'm missing a file. I seem to recall the missing file to be sdcunzip.dll (or something similar to that). To get around this missing file problem, I rename the downloaded iconpackage from an .IP file to a .RAR file. I then manually unzip the .RAR file and add the unzipped files to a similarly created and named iconpackager/theme folder. It works, but it's pain to go through these contortions. I highly doubt IcnPackaegr was designed to work that way. Should I assume sdcunzip is an unzip function from Stardock Central? I'm not interested in installing SDC, so if my assumption is correct, are there workarounds? Appreciate any advice/suggestions anyone is willing to offer.

Thanks Bichur. That did it.

I'm impressed with Stardock software. I like every SD program I have, however, this is the third time I've had to force a change manually in the registry to get a Stardock program to work fully. What's up with that? I don't think I'm running any security software or settings that should prevent registry changes. SD software seems to be the only software that has a registry modification problem. I'd like to understand what that's all about if anyone knows.

Thanks again. You were a great help.

might depend on what various security apps you run and what they're set for
