This is a FYI about avoiding a gotcha which shows up on some Windows systems.

When setting up a bat file to run the open source pymol on windows be sure to reduce the path to just the top of the pymol directory and C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows. Typically other installed software has patched this so that it includes many more directories.

I ran into one machine which had "zlib1.dll" in an Intel wifi driver on the system's default path. This was used instead of the "zlib1.dll" in the pymol ./bin directory which resulted in a mysterious crash part way through pymol starting up.
