What are Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll Error Messages?


Dynamic Link Library Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll Errors

Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Game Maker Studio 2) could share the same Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.

Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Game Maker Studio 2 is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll errors include:

Your Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Game Maker Studio 2), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Game Maker Studio 2, system crash while loading Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.



How to Fix Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the search results, find and click System Restore.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll files for every applicable version of Game Maker Studio 2.

    Windows 10: C:\Program Files (x86)\Avira\Launcher\
  4. Restart your computer.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll problems.

Download Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll to your appropriate Windows system directory. YoYo Games typically does not release Game Maker Studio 2 DLL files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll and all other DLL files for Game Maker Studio 2. An incorrectly installed DLL file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
