Hi,

I have built the wireshark from  0.99.6 on Windows XP and created installer.

When I launch the wireshark application and start the capture, it crashes after capturing few messages.

[Window pops up saying "Wireshark has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Typically like any other application that crashes on Microsoft OS]

This happens in the 0.99.6 version without any changes to the original sources.

 

Is there a fix available to make 0.99.6 release to work without crash.?

 

My requirement is to add a new dissector to a 0.99.6(latest) release and create installer.

Since you are compiling on Windows with a compiler that is newer than MSVC 6, you need to recompile ADNS manually (there is a workspace file available in the ADNS source path that must be converted by MSVC8 to a solution file before you can start compiling).

Once recompiled, you will get adns_dll.dll as the result you need. Make sure that this file is propagated properly to the directories wireshark-gtk1 and wireshark-gtk2.

 

If you do not recompile ADNS, Wireshark might crash when "Network name resolution" is enabled.

 

If you did not have "Network name resolution" enabled, then additional ifnformation on what brought you to the crash is needed to be able to assist you.
