One Answer:
Unless you've altered the installation options there should be a shortcut in the start menu, the exact location varies with the particular version of Windows. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the main Wireshark executable is called Wireshark.exe. Those other executables are for the companion programs in the Wireshark suite. If there is no Wireshark.exe then you have modified the installation options to not install it, on the Components page of the installer dialog ensure all components are selected. To run the other applications in the Wireshark suite you'll need to use some form of command line prompt, with Cmd, or PowerShell and provide the path to the executable (with quotes as you have spaces in the path), e.g. answered 07 Dec '14, 08:04  grahamb ♦ |
Good news )) Then something wrong with my Wireshark installation. I've downloaded portable version of the program and it works fine.
