Zip Archive Library decompression with AES-256

Question

I am using Zip Archive library for compressing and decompressing files, i needed to enable AES encryption so by Uncommenting

#def ZIP_AES

in the _features.h file included with the library and recompiling I got CZipException for decompression

"WinZip AES encryption has not been enabled for the library, but is required to decompress the archive."

Am i missing something? please any guide would so much appreciated.

Did you rebuild the library? Did you also notice that AES isn't available in the free version? — Oliver Charlesworth, Nov 08 '10 at 08:48

I strangely got this error when the program in question needed Pkzip encryption, not AES encryption as the message suggested.
(While this isn't OP's problem, I'm mentioning it for future readers)
