 expat and zlib do not provide 64bit builds for DevStudio, so it has been necessary to create the build environments for exiv2.  However, we don't include the source code for zlib or expat - only the build environment.  You are expected to install the "vanilla" expat and zlib libraries in a directory at the same level as exiv2.  I personally always build in the directory c:\gnu - however the name/location/spaces of the build directory are all irrelevant, it's only the relative position of expat-2.0.1 and zlib-1.2.3 which matter.  The names expat-2.0.1 and zlib-1.2.3 are fixed.
