I'm assuming that you are getting this error when you try to start Wireshark.

Googling a bit on error 0xc000007b finds the following:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vssetup/thread/96035692-9a50-40d4-a7d3-48bda87d11ec/

The error apparently means: "STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT"

and apparently can be caused by things as a corrupted Wireshark exec file, trying to exec a 32 bit image on a 64 bit system, etc.

If the above doesn't help try looking at some of the other results from a search for 0xc000007b (not 0cx....)

The install package was downloaded directly from Wireshark. All anti-malware software was disabled during the installation. The 64-bit program would still not start (gave error). However, if the 32-bit is installed it operates perfectly, even if the anti-malware software is active during the install. This appears to indicate a needed 64-bit dll is not being installed or referenced correctly.

As @Bill Meier said, 0xc000007b means a corrupted image file.

If reinstalling Whireshark does not solve the problem, there is something on your system the modifies either the Wireshark binary (wireshark.exe) or some of the libraries. Good candidates are Anti Virus software, Endpoint Security Software (Symantec), or any other security software, as it might think to have found malware in those files and tried to 'clean' the files. If you downloaded the wireshark installer from wireshark.org, there will be no malware in those files and your security software needs to be adjusted to allow installing and running wireshark (please ask your security software vendor). If did not download the installer from wireshark.org, you might be in "trouble", as that installer (or the content) could be infected with malware. In that case your security software saved your butt ;-))
