Step 2.2.13.2 of the Win32 Step-by-Step Guide
(http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html) reads as
follows:
vcredist_x86.exe : Download the C-Runtime redistributable for Visual C++ 2008
Express Edition (vcredist_x86.exe) and copy it into C:\wireshark-win32-libs
… but the Download link brings you to the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005
Redistributable Package (x86) page here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=32BC1BEE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en
I believe the correct link should be the following, which will bring you to the
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) page:
http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/details.aspx?FamilyID=a5c84275-3b97-4ab7-a40d-3802b2af5fc2&displaylang=en
I've included a simple patch, but I don't generate the docs so I am unable to
verify it.
