Starting wireshark goes through the normal registration of dissectors but once
at the colourful new start page a Windows error report box pops up and
wireshark quits.
Tshark behaves similarly:
tshark -i2 -p
to select the 2nd interface (which has no DNS configured) and no promiscuous
mode will happily sit waiting for packets. As soon as a packet arrives it too
crashes with Windows error report box pops up and quits.
Presumably turning off reverse lookups could work round this problem, only you
don't get an opportunity to untick it since the crash happens at the start
page.
Configuring one or more DNS servers for that interface resolves the problem.
