It seems like windeployqt-to-nsis.ps1 ought to copy the *.qm files from (in my case) C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\5.2.1\msvc2012_64\translations

I’m not sure how to do that in PS so I can’t try if it works…

 


I think the error is a bit different from what you describe.  windeployqt-to-nsis.ps1 creates the nsis include file (qt-dll-manifest.nsh) for the qt dll components to be bundled into the installer.  For qt < 5.3, the qt tool windeployqt is used, for all other versions a "manual"  write is done.  qt-dll-manifest.nsh does not list any *.qm files on qt 5.3.2, even though when called to copy the qt components into wireshark-qt-release it does copy some *.qm files.

I think the issue is maybe that wireshark.nsis always expects some *.qm files and they just aren't there for qt < 5.3.  Check the history of wireshark.nsis to find when the line "File "${QT_DIR}\*.qm"" went in.
