If "Help -> About Wireshark" is selected from Wireshark's main menu an error
message pops up:
>> Could not open file
"<DevelopmentPath>\Wireshark_Source\wireshark-gtk2\COPYING": No such file or
directory <<
I guess this was introduced in revision 32440:
> Rename README.win32 to README.windows and add a 64-bit download link.
>
> Add tools/textify.sh, which makes a Notepad-clickable copy of a text
> file. Use it for COPYING, NEWS, README, README.windows, and help/*.txt.
>
> Remove tools/unix2dos.pl and use Cygwin's u2d instead.
when file COPYING became COPYING.txt on Windows systems.
The attached patch handles this situation by looking for COPYING.txt instead of
COPYING on windows systems.
