So? They get back a version even better, usually not a problem.
I can do you even better. Release the improvements and they may end up
in stock release ;)
What you can do is modify the default install path in the installer.
That would be a start.
Thanx,

A follow up question on this... can two different Wireshark
installations exist on the same system? If so, how can I differentiate
my version from a stock install? That is, Windows must see my version
(such as in Add/Remove Programs) as a completely different and
independent app. I'm assuming the VERSION_EXTRA thing is not enough.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi,
This sounds all overly complicated. You could deduce which
executable/DLL is affected by you changes by unraveling the build
process, but it's much easier to build you own full installer.
