Hi all,

I try to build Wireshark 0.99.5 (I followed the developper's guide, installed Visual C++ 2005 Express & platform SDK, cygwin, python 2.5) but I get the following error :

wireshark-gtk2\tshark.exe -G | perl doc\dfilter2pod.pl doc\wireshark-filter.pod.template > doc\wireshark-filter.pod
Access Denied
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'wireshark-gtk2\tshark.exe' : return code '0xff'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows
Server 2003 R2\Bin\nmake.exe"' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

When I try to launch directly the generated binary, the following popup appeard : "tshark is not a valid win32 application".

Any idea ?


In fact, not really.

I would first try to find out, why the "Access Denied" message appears, it looks suspicious.
