Wireshark 1.2.4 for Win32 includes GLib 2.20, but the Win64 version
includes GLib 2.18. They both include 2.20 in the 1.2 trunk.

If you _really_ want to replace libglig2.0.0-0.dll in your Wireshark
installation you can get version 2.20 from
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/.

However it would be a lot less painful to download and install
