Beside the ICU DLLs, I also agree with Adriano that zlib1.dll should
be installed during a Client install.

I would go further and install chacha.dll too. Currently installer
doesn't install chacha.dll during a Client install, and this doesn't
makes sense since chacha is the default wire encryption algorithm in
FB 4.

IMHO, default option would be to install all files needed to make a
complete client installation, meaning that user would be able to use
all official supported features (compression, chacha, etc) being sure
that everything will work as expected (ie: no risk to have any kind of
problem due to missing files).

If nobody objects, I'll open a ticket for this.
