Does anyone encounter a problem when starting the program in Win11?
The error msg:
Title: SALOME_Session_Server_No_Server.exe
Msg: can not locate the program entry point, inflateReset2, at
“C:\SALOME-9.13.0\W64\ParaView\bin\vtkpng-pv5.11.dll”
check whether Windows redistributables are installed. If not, install them from here: Derniers téléchargements Visual C++ Redistributable pris en charge | Microsoft Learn
If these are already installed, see this discussion to check whether this helps:
You can also check whether your %PATH% is not filled with additional libraries paths, which screw things up.
If you manage to resolve the reported issue, I believe other users will appreciate if you could share what you did.
Regards.
while trying to solve the issue, I am sharing my PATH and dependencies. If solved, I will revert again.
In the screen capture, one can obviously see that somehow you’re picking up PipeCAD libraries (Qt). Here, try removing C:\PipeCAD from your PATH. It should help.
You can do this either directly from Windows, or by editing run_salome.bat
and setting PATH there. PATH should be minimal and contain windows stuff only.
I usually try to avoid software to expand my PATH. Better set environment in dedicated scripts instead.
Here you could do this for PipeCAD as well and have a dedicated launcher as we do for SALOME.
In some newer Windows SALOME version, one could think of having all the DLLs in one single directory. This would resolve all these issues about libraries picked up from other software.
would be great if you could confirm whether you resolved the reported issue, such that others could benefit from your feedback!
thanks
Thanks very much for the advice, the same issue exists, 
I am checking other interfering %PATH% problems while trying to reset all other software,
Can it be any anti-virus S/W problem or related Paraview / Zlib library problems?
P.S. Thankfully, the SALOME_MECA-v2023 can be successfully started.
