Although there are binary packages of Wireshark available for Windows,
building is a different story.

CMake is available for Windows, but the CMake build of Wireshark is still
at an early alpha and a fair bit more needs to be done yet.  Also the build
environment setup still runs as part of the nmake build so that's another
blocker.
