Thanks. How do I apply this patch and compile Wireshark on windows? The
source files I downloaded looked like they were meant for Linux.

If by "the source files I downloaded" you're referring to the source "tarballs" you can get from wireshark.org, they're meant for Windows as well as all the Unix-like systems Wireshark runs on - there's nothing Linux-specific about them.

See

	http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development

for directions on Wireshark development; that gives pointers for setting up a development environment for Windows. In particular, it directs you to the Wireshark Developer's Guide:

You'll need Cygwin, which I think will also give you the "patch" command that will let you apply a patch to the source code.
