Hi,

I never said they couldn't be loaded, I said: "there is a guarantee that it will fail unpredictably sometime". These failures can be subtle, like incorrect decoding, missing information, wrong column information. Stuff like this has happened and causes great confusion, because it isn't obvious.
You have been warned.

Thanx,
Jaap

I tried plug-ins across versions.
Only copy msvcr71.dll (msvc2003) or msvc80.dll(mcvs2005) at the wireshark installed directory,
then compiled plug-ins can be loaded.
