Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Creating a Wireshark installer with my dissector in it

[Brian Oleksa <oleksab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gerald  /  All

I got it to work. This is what I was missing.

	Add

		File "..\..\plugins\xxx\xxx.dll"

	to the list of "File" statements in the "Dissector Plugins"
	section in packaging/nsis/wireshark.nsi.


*NEXT QUESTION....*
Can an installer be made for Linux as well...??


Thanks,
Brian
