(I think) the only thing that doesn't work on Windows is specifying the 
timezone in that format.  At least according to:

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2629#c4

you can still set the TZ variable on Windows (in a command shell) and 
Wireshark will use it.  Presumably you just need to know the right format.

(Personally I'm more used to doing things like TZ=PDT than these fancy 
new-fangled TZ names; maybe Windows still uses that format--as that 
comment suggests?)
