Hi Joerg,

My colleague had the same issue and was finally able to get it to work as follows:

1. UNinstalled ‘Visual-C++ 2010’ and ‘Windows SDK for Windows 7’

2. Reinstalled ‘Visual-C++ 2010’ 

3. Installed ‘Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express - ENU Service Pack 1 (KB983509)’

 

This will provide you with a 32-bit build environment.  I haven’t tried setting up for 64-bit builds yet but I plan to follow http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html exactly and cross my fingers.
