Package: x2goclient Severity: critical Version: 4.0.2.1
x2goclient-4.0.2.1+hotfix1+build3-setup.exe does not install VcXsrv/zlib1.dll, which leads X2Go Client to fail to connect with "Can't start X Server / Please check your installation". You can also check by running vcxsrv.exe and seeing the missing-DLL dialog.
This worked fine with x2goclient-4.0.2.0-setup.exe
Thanks,
Ivan

Unable to confirm (Windows 7 x86). Fresh install of x2goclient-4.0.2.1+hotfix1+build3-setup.exe, running the actual setup.
zlib1.dll *is* there, it's in the x2goclient main directory, though. Not in the VcXsrv subdirectory. x2goclient connects just fine and starts VcXsrv.
If you're missing the zlib1.dll, check that you don't have an overzealous virus scanner that might have quarantined it by accident.

I do have a zlib1.dll in the x2goclient main directory, but that wasn't enough to make VcXsrv work.

I found the problem: it looks like it works only when you start x2goclient with the current directory set to the install directory (in my case, "C:\Program Files (x86)\x2goclient"). It does ship with a working shortcut, but I made my own that didn't set up the cwd properly.
In my case, it was because runas didn't pass through the "Start In" directory:
C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /savecred /profile /user:x2go "C:\Program Files (x86)\x2goclient\x2goclient.exe"
but it can also happen if you just have the wrong "Start In" directory on the shortcut.

Thanks for reporting your observed issue.
I close this bug as the problem seems to be related to your setup.
Launching X2Go Client always requires to cwd to its installation
directory, otherwise its DLLs will not be found.
We won't register the shipped cygwin-based DLLs system-wide as the
danger of interference with other cygwin-based applications is too high.

I don't think this is true - like almost all programs, x2goclient.exe starts fine with an incorrect cwd. The problem arises only when x2goclient tries to start VcXsrv.
Also, it's rather hard to figure out the source of the problem from the "Can't start X Server / Please check your installation" message.
