Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] I've "officially" dropped support for Windows NT 4.0 ...

["Michael Zuffoletti" <mikezuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't have a problem installing the official 0.99.5 build with
WinPcap 4 on NT4. I didn't notice any warning or install failure.
However, this install as well as my own build of trunk rev 20835 with
MSVC6 would not run. They gave the "PrintDlgExW could not be located"
error.

I found that my GTK1 build would run and it appears to capture and
dissect without any problems.

The official 0.99.4 build seems to work without problems. I got it
from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wireshark/wireshark-setup-0.99.4.exe
