        It should be "launcher_lib.dll", an underscore not a hyphen.
        The file should be in your Opera program folder (in the folder with the version name).
        Check that it's there.
        🙂

                Well, Looking at the text you pasted (displaying your Opera's version number), it is requesting a restart of the browser so that it can complete an update.

                Any reason why you did not get it from Opera's official website ?, just asking as it (the installer) has less chance of being tampered with.

                    I'm suspecting the user is using a processor without SSE2 support, which doesn't work with these newer versions.
                    @beachbumtroy can you inform us if your Windows XP is fully patched to SP3 and what processor model you have?

                        It does not support SSE2. Since version 35, Chromium does not support processors without SSE2.
