I have created a wireshark dissector and it works great. When I am out
in the field I like to use this dissector. But first I have to install
wireshark on each laptop then drop my .dll in the plugins directory.
I am just trying to cut out a step and create the installer with my
dissector in place but I cannot get it to work. I can successfully
create the installer... but my dissector is not included in it.

I have followed the instructions on this site (section 2.2.13).
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html

My checked out wireshark code is in:    c:\wireshark\trunk    and my
plugin is in the plugins directory with all the other plugins:
C:\wireshark\trunk\plugins

When I run the following

C:\wireshark\trunk>nmake -f Makefile.nmake packaging

I get NO errors and it does indeed create the installer in the following
directory    C:\wireshark\trunk\packaging\nsis

But it does NOT include my dissector when I install it.

I have edited the Makefile.nmake in the nsis directory to include my
plugins .dll file (but that didn't work)

I have also edited the Makefile.nmake in the plugins directory to
include my plugins .dll file (but that didn't work either).

Does anybody know WHY this is not working..??

Thanks,
Brian
