Hello,
 
I've written some dissector plugins for Wireshark 1.6. Now I want to update these plugins and upgrade to the current version of Wireshark. There are a lot of tools necessary to compile Wireshark (Qt, Cygwin, Python, Git, ...). I would get a debug version of Wireshark and the corresponding pdb file what is the link to the sources.
 
So I tried the other way. I've downloaded
- Wireshark-win64-1.12.5.exe
- Wireshark-pdb-win64-1.12.5.zip
and installed Wireshark, and extracted the pdb files. Then I started Wireshark.exe, attached with VS2013 debugger but the debugger dit not accept the pdb file. That is not a bug surprise since the modification date of the files differes by hours.
 
12.05.2015  22:44         3.083.184 Wireshark.exe
14.05.2015  12:59         9.219.072 Wireshark.pdb
 
Where can I get .exe for that .pdb in the file
or the .pdb file for the .exe in
?
 
Regards
Helge
