trouble finding DLL

[Izumui Abriel]

I've downloaded a program from a website, the program itself is irrelevent, the setup came in an archive with a dozen or so other files. when I open the setup from the winzip archive it installs, in the wrong drive, my c:\ drive, but that's besides the point that in itself matters ver little. But when I try to open the program it asks for a dll file, a DLL file that was in the zip archive, where do I put this DLL so it can find it? I tried putting it in the system 32 folder, but that didn't seem to help?
BTW i'm running win 98 SE, if that helps.

Put it into the actual program folder.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that was the first thing I attempted. Now one other thing I should probably note is that the origanal files, are name something like xyz.dl_ in the archive. so I renamed the file,and put it in the system 32 fold, then the system 32/drivers folder then in the actual program's folder. Nothing is working.

It may help if you told us what the program was that you are trying to install.

If it's a dl_, that's a compressed file, and you have to expand it using the old DOS expand utility, you can't just rename it.

The install routine *should* do all that for you - when you see those, you can't just expand the archive and drop the files into a folder and expect to run the program, there should be a setup or install file in the archive.
