Okey dokey – I’ll stick with VS 2013. I’m also going to take Graham’s advice and build a VM for the purpose.
Thanks and regards…Paul

VS2015 is safe for now, although I'd not got any further up. Basically, when a new VS version is being released it might take some time, to get special IDE shenanigans back-ported, same goes with new Xcode versions on Mac. If you want to
build plugins against official versions of WS, or just want to distribute versions of plugins, which should run with official versions of WS, you have to get the VS2013 route, as otherwise the end-user might run into a dll-linkage hell with the c++ redistributables.

Hi,
I have a new PC and I’m adding all the tools I know and love. I have a bit more Wireshark development to do and so I want to install Visual Studio. The stated build environment
for Wireshark is VS 2013. Would it be safe for me to use VS 2015 Community Edition for Wireshark development or am I just going to create a lot of problems for myself.
Thanks and regards…Paul
I think Anders is building with VS2015, but as you noted all official builds are currently done with VS2013 so that's the safe bet. You can install both side-by-side.
Pro-tip, create a VM using the technology of your choice and use that for Wireshark Dev (and only Wireshark Dev). This means that when you get a new PC, you just copy over the VM.
