I tested with method described in post 1605 using both zip a) and b). When I tested with zip a) wallet crashed before open. With zip b), the wallet opened fine and downloaded ok the full block chain but when I closed and opened again it had to re-sync, it is like something was lost.
the problem is the block check, If you set this this to 1, instead of default 2500, then both versions will sync in a few seconds (but you must reload the chain with the value 1)
and version a) you can only start if there is already a block chain is present in the folder
