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 cefclient.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:

Access Violation at address - Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll.
Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll could not be found.
Cannot find C:\ProgramData\GameMakerStudio2\Cache\runtimes\runtime-2.2.4.374\bin\Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll.
Cannot register Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll.
Cannot start Game Maker Studio 2. A required component is missing: Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll. Please install Game Maker Studio 2 again.
Failed to load Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll.
The application has failed to start because Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll was not found.
The file Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll is missing or corrupt.
This application failed to start because Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

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.

Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the Ionic.Zip.Reduced.dll error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Game Maker Studio 2 (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Game Maker Studio 2 software.

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:

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
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.

Windows 10: C:\Program Files (x86)\Avira\Launcher\

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.
