Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark fails to start with wpcap.dll built by Visual Studio 2010

[Yang Luo <hsluoyb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Anders,

Building with VS 2013 means the Npcap user has to get a VC 2013 redist installed, which is not always the case (at least fewer installed than VC 2010 redist package). Actually, once a user complains that Npcap fails to run and I found it's because of the unavailability of correct VC redist. And, Npcap is only 600+KB and a VC redist package can be 7+MB. So it's not good for Npcap installer to ship with a VC redist like what Wireshark currently did. Do you have any better solutions?

Cheers,

Yang

Hi,

Why not build with VS 2013? It seems to be supported in master now. I presume we would like updates pushed there.

Regards

Hi list, 

 

After several months, I retried updating wpcap project from VS 2005 to VS 2010) and encountered the same issue, under Wireshark 2.0.1 x64, Win10 x64.

 

The Wireshark UI said "Child dumpcap process died: Access violation". I don't know what this means, because I have used Administrator privilege to launch Wireshark.

 

I have just attached the x64 version wpcap.dll in this mail, you can just substitute it with the original WinPcap/Npcap version in C:\Windows\System32. Then launch Wireshark and you will see the crash. Hope that any one can see what's wrong with it here.

 

Hi Yang,

I just gave a test to you dll (have replaced the existing version in C:\windows\System32\ and C:\windows\SysWOW64\ and did not face a crash when running it on Windows 7 x64:

Does it require a reboot of the system?

Hi list,

 

The original WinPcap DLL, wpcap.dll is built by VS 2005, I have updated it to VS 2010 using VS automatic conversion wizard without changing one line of code. But when I launched Wireshark on Win8.1 x64, I encountered an app crash error:

I have updated Packet.dll from VS 2005 to VS 2010 without problem. (If I use VS 2005 version wpcap.dll and VS 2010 version Packet.dll, it works fine) So it can't be lacking C run-time issue. I don't know what's wrong with it?

 

 

Cheers,

Yang
