Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Help on installing wireshark on Windows XP

Hi,

    Thanks for your reply. I also did the same and then it compiled properly.
    But, while executing the "wireshark.exe", I was getting this error.

    "The Application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click OK
to terminate the application"

    Can anyone help me on this?.

Thanks & Regards,
Siva S.
