I tried to download and install a small weatherwatching program but got an
error message during the installatin that read as follows;
C\:WINDOWS\system 32\unzip32.dll the existing file is read onl.Click retry
to removethe read only attribute and try again.Ignore to skip this file or
abort to cancel installation.
I cancelled but would appreciate somebody telling me what I should do to
install the program thanks.

Thanks Andrew but it's the installation thats the problem. Right clicking
the download link just gives me 'in page' options [email this page etc]. I
did save the setup to my docs anyway but the same problem occurs. Would
changing the destination [C\:Program files] make any difference? or does the
system 32 file still play a part?

Apparently unzip32.dll is the InfoZIP UnZip DLL.

Try this.

Start | Run | Type: system32 | Click OK |
Hit your U key a couple of times, now scroll down a little more until you
see unzip32.dll.
Right click on unzip32.dll and select Properties.
On the General tab UNCheck where it says Read-only.
Click Apply then click OK.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
