At what version did Wireshark become Windows 7 compatible? Not the latest but the very first. asked 06 Apr '12, 08:43  cre8tivspirit |
One Answer:
The first version released! I just downloaded and installed 0.99.2, and that was able to run and capture traffic on Win 7 SP1 64 bit. There were some graphical glitches, but nothing to make it unusable, and I did the capture using the installed WinPCap 4.1.2 rather than revert to 3.1 which came with that version. answered 06 Apr '12, 09:11  grahamb ♦ edited 06 Apr '12, 09:12 |
@grahamb, I like "Forever!" better ;)
1.2.3 was the first version to ship with a WinPcap installer that supported Windows 7 (4.1.1) but as @grahamb points out any version should work.
@bstn Yep, should have left my first attempt in.
So actually Wireshark was compatible with Win 7 before Win 7 was even released! Wireshark 0.99.2 is dated 17 July 2006, the first public release of Win 7 was the beta on Jan 2009.
