RunTime Error 339

Runtime Error 339 is caused when an .OCX file (generally the dunzip32.ocx) file is missing from a software application that you are trying to install on your computer. The 339 error won’t necessarily appear during the installation of the application,  but may occur when you try and use the program for the first time – when your PC realizes that it cannot use the .ocx file it requires. To fix this,  you should look to repair the damaged / missing file at the root of the problem.

What Causes The Runtime 339 Error?

This error normally shows in this format:

“Runtime error 339: Component duzocx32.ocx is not correctly registered or file is missing”

The above error is caused when a .ocx / .dll file is missing from the installation of a program on your PC. In most instances, the file at the root of this problem is dunzip32.dll, which is used by Windows.

Like most run time errors, 339 generally occurs when a link in the sequence of processes that enables the program to launch is missing, interrupted or corrupted. The value in theses sequences consist of numerous data files and system files that are required to ensure the integrity of the application launch. In order for the launch to be successful, all processes involved must work together in perfect harmony. The “RunTime” error is simply a problem which occurs with the files / data / settings that need to be used to help a program run, which means that to stop the error occurring, you need to repair the problems causing it.

The best way to resolve the runtime 339 error is to unregister the duzocx32.ocx file, which in most cases is probably damaged, and delete it. Because this file is needed by the dunzip32.dll file then deleting it will stop the need for it.
