Frequent UC2 Opening Issues
AIPNL UltraCompressor 2.3 or UltraExpander Isn't There
When trying to open your UC2 file, you get the error "Can't Open UC2 File Type". If so, it typically means that you don't have AIPNL UltraCompressor 2.3 or UltraExpander installed for %%os%%.

Incorrect AIPNL UltraCompressor 2.3 or UltraExpander Version
It is possible that your version of AIPNL UltraCompressor 2.3 or UltraExpander isn't able to open your UltraCompressor 2 Archive file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of AIPNL UltraCompressor 2.3 or UltraExpander installed, you'll need to install the correct version.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of UC2 file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
