This is repeat message, I have posted this before

I tried using the recently released ZLIB1.DLL version 1.2.5 with
Visual Studio 2008 (C++)

Microsoft LINK complained of

multiple '.text' sections found with different attributes

and after that, unzipping (programmatically that is) causes memory
protection faults and the program terminates.

So I am reverting back to the previous ZLIB1.DLL version 1.2.3
I am surprised that few have noticed this (one other peron on scouring
the Internet).

<update>
From 5th message here

it appears to be the import library is faulty. So if I rebuild that, I
can check to see if ZLIB1.DLL 1.2.5 works.

Cheers
