Title: Wireshark on 64 bit Vista?

When I run Wireshark I get the error message “The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail”. I believe that Wireshark ran correctly when I first installed it. I haven’t done anything to cause this that I know of, except maybe install AVG/Pro and de-install Norton.

I have Vista Home Premium 64-bit running on a HP Pavillion D5z laptop with an AMD Turion something or other. Has anyone seen this problem?

I have another application, Visual SlickEdit that has a problem that looks similar. I suspect it has to do with the security features in Vista. Could it be that these apps cannot get to files it needs because of the security in Vista? Since I can’t even open the apps, it’s hard to tell where any “unavailable” files might be.

Cheers, Bob
