Hi Ronaldo
 
Last week I was triying the same and had the same results 
as you. The problem is that MS doesn't provide a redistributable 
(vcredist_x86.exe) which fits to the actual compiler 
version.
 
Right now I have only a workaround after the installation. 
In the wireshark directory you will find some *.manifest 
files which you have to modify according your system. Within the 
systemdirectory(C:\WIndows) you can find a subdirectory "WinSxS" and this 
contains a subdir for each msvcr... version. In may case and I believe in your 
case the actual version is x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.42_x-ww_0de06acd but is 
is compiled with a version *8.0.50727.272*.
 
What you have to do is to change the name inthe manifest 
files so that they fit to your system.
Attached are my modified versions which worked on my 
system.

Hi list,
I have some trouble running a version that I compiled 
of Wireshark:
- compiled on XP SP2, using Visual Studio 2005 
Express.
- after compiling, I copied the Wireshark.exe from the build folder 
to the Program Files\Wireshark folder. 
- when I try to launch it, Windows 
warns me about the missing msvcr80.dll.
I did a little research on the 
list about this issue, and all I could get is that I would need to download the 
Visual C++ 2005 redistributables if I am trying to run Wireshark on a machine 
without Visual Studio installed. The fact is that I'm trying to run it in my 
development machine. Anyhow, I installed the redistributables and had no success 
also. Any clues of what am I doing wrong? 
Thanks,
Ronaldo
BTW: the .exe I compiled is approximately 
half the size of the .exe copied by the Wireshark installer. Is the latter one 
statically linked to the runtime?
