Hello, I installed Wireshark as standard installation with simple deployment. I used standard switches to install it with default settings. I have question why installed unregisters and deletes dlls from Microsoft C++ redist ? Version doesn't matter becasue I have installed MSVCP from 2005 to 2015. Mainly is doing some mess with Redist. For example it unregisters mfc120u.dll and deletes it. After computer reboot or relog I have message box about missing dll. How to preserve this action? I have read another thread regarding dll - about plugins - https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/41476/missing-dll Here is spoken about that specific version of wireshark must be built with plugins with specific msvcp version. It's not good for me, because for security reasons I cannot allow installer to delete some files. What do you think? Thx Darx asked 14 Mar '16, 05:17  Darx |
One Answer:
When installed, Wireshark launches Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64 or x86 depending on the version used) with the following flags: '/quiet /norestart'. It does not uninstall anything by itself, so it means that this comes from Microsoft redistributable installer itself. As Wireshark uses the latest version provided by Microsoft, Im' not sure whether we can do something on our side or not... BTW are you installing the x86 or x64 version? answered 14 Mar '16, 05:54  Pascal Quantin edited 14 Mar '16, 06:01 Thank you Pascal for reply, I will check if the version which I use is the latest. But I don't think so - I cannot let installer do what it wants, is it possible to disable MSVCP* installation via switch or something? Those libraries I can update manually. This is against our security policy which doesn't allow automatic updates. Thanks :) (14 Mar '16, 06:05) Darx I am installing x64 versions :) again I forgot answer the question. Is here edit button? I can't see it (14 Mar '16, 06:07) Darx I'm googling right now to see if this is a known issue... But did not find anything so far. (14 Mar '16, 06:17) Pascal Quantin Thanks, maybe people or users have those packages up to date. (14 Mar '16, 06:19) Darx @Pascal Quantin , did you find something ? (22 Mar '16, 05:30) Darx Not for now. (22 Mar '16, 05:31) Pascal Quantin showing 5 of 6 show 1 more comments |
Also i forgot to write: this appears randomly. I have other machine and this problem wasn't spotted with similar configuration (I mean MSVCPs)
