You should be able to do something like the following:

 - Find out where Wireshark is installed via
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
     App Paths\wireshark.exe

 - Run GetBinaryType on the result.

Note that "App Paths" is one of the registry keys affected by WOW64
redirection so different versions of Windows might add a thoroughly fun
and enjoyable technical challenge to this.

Is this something we should/could show in the Wireshark -v and Help -> About outputs?
