If your application needs that + particular build of zlib.dll, you can rename zlibwapi.dll to zlib.dll. + +- The new DLL was renamed because there exist several incompatible + versions of zlib.dll on the Internet. + +- There is also an official DLL build of zlib, named zlib1.dll. This one + is exporting the functions using the CDECL convention.
