Err Preference tcp.port has already been registered after installing 2.4.0

0

Hello there,

I uninstalled Wireshark 64 bit 2.2.x and installed Wireshark 2.4 on a Windows 7 PC. Now I receive an Debug Console prompt that shows me the message "Err Preference tcp.port has already been registered - Press any key to exit". I already unistalled Wireshark again and deleted the whole folder and installed it again - no change. Has anybody an idea to solve this?

Do you use some dissector plugins?

No, I always used Wireshark out-of-the-box. But this was a hint to also delete the preferences and filter files in my homedir\appdata\roaming\wireshark. And that was it. Thank you anyway, sometimes we don't see the wood for the trees :D
