1) Install https://2.na.dl.wireshark.org/osx/Wireshark%202.1.0%20Intel%2064.dmg
2) Install https://2.na.dl.wireshark.org/osx/Wireshark%202.0.4%20Intel%2064.dmg

The version of Wireshark that remains on the system after the second install is
still 2.1.0 because the 2.0.4 package is configured to not allow downgrades of
Wireshark.app.
