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

[David Ameiss <netshark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"file wireshark-gtk2/wireshark.exe" returns "PE32+ executable (GUI) 
x86-64, for MS Windows"

I believe the stackoverflow article is essentially the instructions 
found in 
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html, which 
I followed. It's certainly possible I missed a step somewhere, but (1) 
the generated installer installs fine on Windows 7, and installs into 
the "Program Files" directory (rather than "Program Files (x86)", 
implying that it's a 64-bit app), and (2) it runs on Windows 7 with no 
problems.

Dependency Walker is my next step.
