FileForums - Mech Commander 2 Patch simply doesn't work!!!!!

I have searched every posting of this topic and connot get this dam thing working. All 3 of the MC2 archives don't work for me. When I test the archive it says that ace.dll is missing. Have reinstalled winace 2.03. I got the crack for that, tried extract with trial and full version. I have tried every way to extract it and still get the same error. I am running ME but I can't see that having anything to do with it. I get the empty folder or it just does not extract. I have gone at the file in every way that you can to run it through winace (opening winace first, double clicking archive, etc.) and nothing works. I am running Winace Archiver 2.03. I have tried extracting to many different folders, desktop, etc. I have now downloaded Winace 2.04 and it still does not work. What the hell is going on!!!! What am I missing?! HELP?!
