Try reinstalling IconPackager or Try reinstalling SDC (Stardock Central) over itself

Since I don't run SDC (Stardock Central Services), I found the answer in a batch file that was posted somewhere.

I manually opened (regedit) my registry and went to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\ObjectDesktop

and added a New "string value" by right-clicking with a name of SDCzip.
Then I added a path ... C:\Program Files\Common Files\Stardock\SDCzip.dll to this key.

I get my download links via e-mail, and install the stand-alone programs of Stardock. Apparently they miss setting some small but important links occasionally. It seems SDC gets the full(er) treatment on installs.
