I've uploaded a screen shot of the error message. Yes, it would be nice to not
have it crash. Even nicer would be to be able to get summary information again
:)

I know this is (now) caused by using a version of Wireshark compiled with
WinPcap support on a PC that doesn't have WinPcap installed, but that's kind of
the point of the PortableApps version: To carry it around on portable media and
use whatever functionality we can get on PCs where we may or may not have
administrative privileges and may not know that in advance.

Question: Since pcap functionality is now used in the summary dialog, does that
mean that even a version compiled without WinPcap support will still not have
the summary dialog functionality?
