I've been mining with the S3 and S7 miners for awhile, and for fun I bought a GekkoScience Compac USB but i'm having some challenges getting the software set up.

When I go to install the "gekko cgminer" my computer says that the zlib1.dll is missing.

I've found that this file should have been included in the special Gekko cgminer but wasnt, where is a safe/trusted source to find this file?

For completeness, these are the post's I referenced.

This appears to be the original cgminer, and i'm not sure if this file i'm looking for exists somewhere in this directory
http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/


In addition, will i have to go through this process to set up the gekko miner?
