Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Building Wireshark on Windows

[David Ameiss <netshark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the platform used by Wireshark to build the "official" 32- and 
64-bit Windows versions? I've followed the instructions given at 
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html, on 
Windows 7 using VS 2010EE (which seem to be the recommended platform). 
Builds fine, runs fine on Window 7. But on XP and Vista (at least), 
running the generated Wireshark installer works fine, but trying to run 
Wireshark always results in "Wireshark is not a valid Win32 Application."

I've included the proper redistributable (for VS2010EE SP1, in this 
case), and I can see it run at installation time. But Wireshark won't run.

I'm not sure what I'm missing. Is Windows7/VS2010EE not the appropriate 
combination to build on for XP and Vista?
