Hi,

I've just installed Wireshark Portable 1.2.0 on my favorite USB on a
Dell/Win XP SP2.
Installation went ok, but when startng WiresharkPortable.exe, I get the
following error message:

Runtime Error!

Program E:\WiresharkPortable\App\Wireshark\dumpcap.exe

The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information

It sounds like WinPcap didn't get installed.
Did you see the WinPcap installation and maybe cancel it?
Or did you not see it at all?

Is the Wireshark window still present, but you can't do any capturing?

It looks like the Wireshark Portable installer points to an incorrect WinPcap installer. See:
