I have upgraded a user to Wireshark 1.12.5 and he now he does not have anything listed under the "Capture" section on the left side of the application. The app is missing the "Interface List" and "Start" buttons now. Does anyone know why this is? Thanks very much for any help on this issue! asked 16 Jun '15, 09:01  Irishbug |

OK, so it seems WinPCap is working. I wondered if the initial WinPCap query made by Wireshark at startup to display the interface data that's missing had hung for some reason. Have you rebooted since the install? Maybe try uninstalling Wireshark (and WinPCap) and installing again. answered 17 Jun '15, 15:08  grahamb ♦ I went ahead and reinstalled both apps and its working now, thanks! (19 Jun '15, 08:59) Irishbug I've converted my comment to an answer as that seems to have been the solution. Can you accept the answer with the checkmark icon? (19 Jun '15, 09:26) grahamb ♦ |
Are your users part of a group (e.g. wireshark group)? If not you will have to add him. Check the following link for this situation https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges answered 17 Jun '15, 16:13  cyverzek He's using Windows, so that doesn't apply.

Go to: CAPTURE OPTIONS | MANAGE INTERFACES | LOCAL INTERFACES Make sure none of your interfaces have a check in the HIDE box. answered 17 Jun '15, 20:51  Rooster_50 |
OS and it's version?
Windows 7, 64 bit, Pro
What does
C:\Program Files\Wireshark\dumpcap.exe -D -M(adjust the path to fit wherever you actually installed wireshark to) show?it lists my NIC
Just to be absolutely sure. You say it lists "my" NIC, while you are reporting the problem for the system of a user.
Did you run dumpcap on the users system (without admin privileges) and it printed the whole interface list?
