I think I just found a potential problem.

I was trying to run my dissector on wireshark version 1.4.0.

I just downloaded and installed (win32) 1.2.11 and it worked fine.

So why can't I use my dissector with version 1.4.0..??

Thanks,
Brian

I got wireshark to build and my dissector builds just fine too. But when
I go to run it, I get the following error:

10:04:33          Err  Field 'System Tx Time' (helen.SystemTxTime) is a
FT_ABS
UTE_TIME but is being displayed as BASE_NONE instead of as a time

Why does this code work on my 32bit XP machine and not on my win7 64 bit
machine..??

Thanks,
Brian


The error messge indicates the problem: you have to specify one of
		ABSOLUTE_TIME_LOCAL, ABSOLUTE_TIME_UTC, or
		ABSOLUTE_TIME_DOY_UTC
in the DISPLAY field for FT_ABSOLUTE_TIME.

I don't know why this only failed on 64bit WinXP.
(Sounds like  bug since it should have failed on both).

Also: I believe Wireshark 1.2... didn't have this test (or maybe even ABSOLUTE_TIME_LOCAL, ABSOLUTE_TIME_UTC, or
		ABSOLUTE_TIME_DOY_UTC
