Very nice Lars, can confirm the workaround works
Installed ethereal 10.6, with Gtk2 & Gtk-wimp (with Gtk2.4.4, GLib
2.4.5) and crashed
removed asn1.dll from plugins directory - and started fine
Minor niggle, "Help" -> "About" reports
WinPcap (version unknown)
Cheers

If I install 10.6 with Gtk2, without

GTK-Wimp enabled causes ethereal to crash on startup
Also, could the "help" -> "about" box please display the GTK-Wimp
version no. - then we'll be able to tell you which version we're
running :-)
I was wondering how it could be that GTK 1.3 crashes with GTK-Wimp.
GTK-Wimp is an extension for GTK2. GTK1 doesn't even load it!!
So I installed GTK1 version with GTK-Wimp and at least this time, I
can reproduce the crash.
The debugger shows that it crashes when loading asn1.dll.
I am not surprised that we finally have a conflict with it as it is
linked against GTK2!
The crash already happens in libglib-2.0-0.dll. I believe that most
people reporting crashes with ethereal crashing in module
libglib-2.0-0.dll have this conflict.
There are a lot of workarounds, but there is only one solution:
Remove GTK depedency from the asn1 plugin.
Short term workaround:
Remove asn1.dll in the plugins directory.
When you start Ethereal after that, you will probably get a DOS box
with some warnings about preferences of the asn1 dissector. Just go to
Edit->Prefences and click on the save button and the DOS-box won't
appear the next time.
Workaround for next release:
Installer shouldn't install asn1.dll with GTK1 version of ethereal.
However, it shouldn't be possible to select GTK-Wimp together with
GTK1. GTK1 doesn't use it.
I will prepare patches for the nsis installer.
Regards,
Lars
