Re: Wireshark fails to start with wpcap.dll built by Visual Studio 2010

[Yang Luo <hsluoyb () gmail com>]

OK. I decided to build wpcap.dll with VS2013 at least. And the same issue.
(mentioned in the first two posts). It will cause Wireshark on Win8.1/10
x64 to crash.
I also used MBCS option instead of Unicode, the same with WinPcap trunk. So
weird.

I have attached the wpcap.dll file. Substitute it with the original
WinPcap/Npcap version in C:\Windows\System32. Then launch Wireshark and you
will see the crash.
Thanks!
