I installed Wireshark 1.7.0-SVN-37862 and ran Wireshark. A pop-up dialog box
showed the following message: “Unknown message from dumpcap, try to show it as
a string: Unable to open debug log file !” After clicking "OK" to close the
dialog, I saw that no interfaces were listed and this legend was displayed: “No
interface can be used for capturing in this system with the current
configuration”
Running "tshark -D" from the command line gave the same message: “Unknown
message from dumpcap, try to show it as a string: Unable to open debug log file
!”
Running "dumpcap -D" from the command line showed "Unable to open debug log
file !"
The same behavior was seen on 1.7.0-SVN-37850 64-bit and 1.7.0-SVN-37849
64-bit.
The 32-bit versions generate the same error message (on 64-bit Windows 7), but
the error is shown in a console window instead of a dialog box, and the GUI
never launches.
Reverting to stable version 1.6.0 or development version 1.7.0-SVN-37835
restores full functionality.
