Gerald,
Thanks for your very prompt response.
Now the problem has fixed.
Issue is : mismatch of redistribution file "vcredist_x86.exe",previously I developed wireshark setup with VC2005 
vcredist_x86.exe, instead of VC2008 EE vcredist_x86.exe.

Wireshark on Windows requires the C Runtime DLL (msvcr90.dll for Visual
C++ 2008) in order to run. The Express Editions of Visual C++ 2005 and
2008 don't come with a this DLL. Instead you have to install
vcredist_x86.exe (or vcredist_x64.exe on 64-bit Windows) on the target
system.

If you have MSVC_VARIANT defined to "MSVC2008EE" in config.nmake, it
_should_ bundle up vcredist_x64.exe with the installer and stop the
build if you don't have it. Does it not do that on your system?

Hi Gerald,

Thanks for your response.

Can you elaborate more for this to get resolved.

 

My target is : 

if we develop the wireshark setup with VC++ 2008 EE as mentioned step by step guide lines 
“http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html”, it should work without the dependency on the 
VC++ 2008 EE installation again or any other dependencies in the target environment.

 

Thanks,

Jayapal

Hi Jaap,

Thanks for your reply.

I have taken the code using SVN from

http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk-1.2/

And I have changed one file plugins directory and build in windows

environment

 

You might want to take a look at

 

   http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235291.aspx

 

Specifically the note that says

 

Visual C++ Express does not create %PROGDIR%\Microsoft Visual Studio

9.0\VC\Redist\ during installation on the development computer. To

redistribute Visual C++ libraries with applications built with Visual

C++ Express, please use Visual C++ Redistributable Packages

(VCRedist_*.exe). See section "Deploying Visual C++ library DLLs as

shared assemblies" above for more information.
