The download link can be found in the following topic: http://www.stick-online.com/boards/index.php?topic=2842.0 (http://www.stick-online.com/boards/index.php?topic=2842.0). In any modern version of windows, winzip should be entirely unneccesary for opening zip files (windows can handle this itself). If winzip is your default program, you should still be able to get around it by right clicking the zip file and extracting, or doing an "open with..." windows explorer then pulling the files out manually.

I'm guessing your browser is someone trying to automatically open the file, and your computers default programming for opening zip files is winzip. If you can locate where the actual file was downloaded to, you should still be able to follow my previous posts instructions to open it. However, it may just be easiest to uninstall winzip (especially if it is expired anyways). Windows can handle most of the same tasks as winzip without any third party software, and for the tasks that it can't there are numerous other freeware software packages can fill in any gaps (7zip, etc).

For the record, any file management systems that have free trials or subscriptions are complete crap b/c there are better open-source versions. This should fix your program and prevent many future programs with archive files:

Follow the instructions here for your version of windows: EXCEPT: Step 5 where it says "In the dialog that opens click WinZip to select it", don't select WinZip, select the default windows Zipper/Unzipper. If this option is not available, download and install: http://www.7-zip.org/ . When you finish installing this program, in step 5, select 7-zip instead of WinZip like the instructions on the first link say.
