zlib module missing - python 2.4.3
<p>I am trying to get simplejson installed on this python 2.4.3 - <strong>I cannot upgrade, I know it is old, there is nothing I can do about it, it is not my fault, please help.</strong> however when i do the ..\python.exe .\setup.py install i get: </p>

<pre><code>File "C:\Program Files (x86)\WorldViz\Vizard30\bin\lib\zipfile.py", line 188, in __init__ raise RuntimeError,\
RuntimeError: Compression requires the (missing) zlib module
</code></pre>

<p>Does anyone know how can I get zlib installed on this windows 64 machine? or where I can get a compiled version of simplejson or where can I find a compatible alternative for it.</p>

<p>Again, I can't do anything about it being python 2.4.3 - it is a proprietary modified version of python that I cannot do a thing about.</p>
