Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Win2000 Error: wireshark.exe is not a valid Win32 applicatio
I'm assuming when I do the verify_tools step, it confirms that I'm using nmake/cl/link from VS8 based on the output:
C:\wireshark>nmake -f Makefile.nmake verify_tools
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.42
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Checking for required applications:
cl: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/BIN/cl
link: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/BIN/link
nmake: /cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/BIN/nmake
bash: /usr/bin/bash

the wiki page suggest you ONLY use nmake/cl/link from VS8 (true name of Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition),
but make sure NOT use nmake/cl/link from 2003 server SDK R2 under windows 2000.
Hope this will help.

Yes. You also need to make changes to config.nmake to indicate the use
of VC6.

I guess folks are:
a) Using a combination of EE and SDK that works on W2K
b) Not testing/using on W2K
c) Using VS2005 Pro or better with a different SDK.
We have had several threads in the past few months with this issue, but
no-one who has had the issue has stayed the course until we resolved it.
You may want to buck the trend!
