After having successfully compiled wireshark on windows, I tried to create a windows installer. I am getting the following error on doing a 'nmake -f Makefile.nmake build wireshark installer' **File: "C:Userst_sidharth1wswinwiresharkwin32vcredist_x86.exe" -> no files found.

If you can't even create the installer, then it likely means that you don't have a copy of Reference: Create a Wireshark Installer, section 2.2.13.2. answered 13 Feb '11, 18:07  cmaynard ♦♦ edited 14 Feb '11, 13:05 |
I have solved my problem by installing Visual Studio but not the Express Edition. Now Wireshark is well installed, but when I'm trying to launch it, i got a pop-up telling me that i may reinstall wireshark because it's not correctly configured. Any idea? answered 08 Mar '11, 02:20  Alwik |
The solution is to install visual C++ SP1 answered 23 Mar '11, 06:14 Alwik |

Perhaps you need to install the vcredist.. ref the developers guide.
I have downloaded vcredist_x86.exe from microsoft.com and I have installed it. But while installation it does not ask for a path as to where I want to install that.
So where exactly do I need to install the vcredist_x86.exe? And on installation of this redistributable, what files exactly come up??
Hi,
Is it possible to make an installer without installing vcredist? Because, in my case, I'm not admin on my computer so I can't install vcredist.
I don't think so..redistributable files are necessary for the runtime.
Try downloading the msvcr90.dll from the internet and using it. It might work. But I am not completely sure on it.
What is the harm in trying afterall.
