Hi, Apologies for not replying sooner, but I have no access to my e-mail. I am using the development release available from the main wireshark download page (URL: http://www.wireshark.org/download.html). Current development release version 1.1.2. Same problem on standard installations of Windows Server Standard & Enterprise as well as Windows XP (all x64-bit). 32-bit seems to run fine.

As I said, I understand this is developlment release, but if x64 is supposed to work, it's not on those OS's at the moment. Error message is the same on all three OS's: "failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002).

Thanks,

Mario

Hi,

Are there any restrictions to using wireshark in a x64-bit environment

(Windows 2003)?

The stable version 1.0.5 seems to install and start fine, but the

development realease installs but crashes when trying to start.

I realise that may be why it is is still 'Development'.  Is there a separate

mailing list for development releases I should mail?

I build and run trunk (albeit a little older) on Vista 64 bit business
and it runs fine for me.  Are you attempting to run a specific nightly

build?
