Wireshark Portable doesn't fully work with the PortableApps.com Platform due to
some missing and misnamed files within the WiresharkPortable\App\AppInfo
directory.  It will show in the PortableApps.com Menu, but will have no icon
visible.

Additionally, Wireshark Portable does not use the current PortableApps.com
Installer, so it is not multilingual and won't automatically work with the
Platform.

Due to these issues, Wireshark Portable can't yet be promoted to the millions
of users of the PortableApps.com Platform that visit PortableApps.com.

To solve these issues, I have included a replacement for the files within
WiresharkPortable\App\AppInfo in the attached WiresharkAppInfo.zip file.  After
these files are placed in the directory, Wireshark Portable can be compiled
into a PortableApps.com Installer by using the official PortableApps.com
Installer at:
http://portableapps.com/apps/development/portableapps.com_installer

When installed and run, the PortableApps.com Installer can be manually pointed
to X:\PathToFiles\WiresharkPortable to compile the appropriate installer and
place it in X:\PathToFiles.  The PortableApps.com Installer can also accept a
path on it's command line to be able to automate installer creation via script.
