Unfortunately, it's true that there are several (sometimes incompatible -- various zlib versions, various calling conventions) zlib.dll versions floating around. Fortunately, there exists more-or-less standard zlib dll library for win32. It can be obtained from [http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/]. It is frequently updated, so all known security problems should be fixed there. It's used by many programs (including gimp for windows, or actually gtk 2 for windows; oh, and my programs :) ). It's named zlib1.dll (with "1"), so no conflicts with zlib.dll. As far as I am aware, no software dared to ever install incompatible zlib1.dll version. So this may be your solution.
