Dear Tim, sorry to upset you. I did not understand your reply. I searched my computer for wxWidget - did not find any dll, just an xml. I looked at the xml with vim and could not find zlib. I remain unclear what else to look for/check. As for the downloaded install, I got it from sourceforge and it auto unpacked and executed fine (as far as I can tell). That was before running, obviously, and hence before c::b said it could not find zlib1 (which I assume has something to do with zipped files). I have also tried running the c::b executable directly instead of "executing" a .cbp file - it fails with the same can`t find zlib1.dll message as soon as I try to do anything.
Scr3amer:
Anyway, you are the only one who seems to experience this issue so maybe the problem comes from the version you downloaded :p .
Try to uninstall C::B and install instead the 15.12 RC1 version here : http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,20729.0.html .

Thank you for the pointer to an installer that includes the gnu compiler. I uninstalled c::b and reinstalled the with compiler version (I didn`t uninstall the compiler beforehand - not sure how to do that). Trying it I noticed the following: the error message (zlib1 not found) popped up the same number of times as the source files in the project (c++ & h) - not looping as I first thought; and the error message window had "cc1plus" up in the top left corner, which a search found to be an executable in the gnu program directory. Could it be that compiler didn't install correctly (because I didn't uninstall before reloading, ... or not). After dismissing the error messages c::b let me edit the source (meaningless add/remove whitespace) and save the files, but an attempt to build generated the same error messages (zlib) again. That would imply that the problem is with the compiler (as opposed to c::b), to me anyway, but why then does it show up at initial load the project time? And how do I safely remove the gnu compiler before reinstalling yet again? It doesn't show up in the windows 10 version of add/remove programs. Setting up my nice new machine is proving very frustrating. I really do appreciate your help.
Jim
