You can't decompress data directly on top of TCP, but a dissector for a
protocol above TCP can. For example, http can, at least in some
circumstances.
What exactly are you trying to decompress? A (small) sample capture
might help...

Okay, so do I have to enable it - I'm seeing data come through that has
been compressed with a version of Zlib that isn't showing the body as
cleartext.

How can I add zlib to my install of wireshark (the precompiled win 32
version)?
If this isn't possible, is there another precompiled version that DOES
have this support?
zlib is included in the standard Windows build...
