after this i copied msvcr80.dll to system32 folder.the error is still coming,but now the error is a runtime error R6034.

You need to build a plain old version of wireshark before you try building a custom one.  Can you confirm that you have built and run a standard wireshark?  Did you build the installer and install it?

Is the Wireshark in C:\Program Files\Wireshark the one you have built and installed, or an install built elsewhere?  During a build, Wireshark isn't installed, that's a separate step.

If the latter then it is likely to have been linked with msvcr90.dll and your plugin is linked with msvcr80.dll (due to compiling with VS2005) causing the issue.
