Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Wireshark exiting while calling the plugin in 0.99.8

Hi,
Yes I copy the plugin dll along with other dlls in plugins folder.
I am using Visual C++ 2005          Express Edition as I dont have Visual C++ 6.0, I recompiled wireshark source with MSVS 2005EE,
and created a wireshakr installable which i use now.
I did the same with wireshark 0.99.6.
I recompiled with MSVS2005EE, and created my plugin dll, and i was successfully able to install my rebuilt version of wireshark
and my plugin on other machines.
But now the same procedure for wireshark 0.99.8, is making wireshark crash on other machines.
I don't understand when I have a properly built exe , why would it behave differently on different machines on calling my plugin's dll?

thanks,

Are you copying it to other 0.99.8 installations?  A difference in 
compilers might be the cause here (I'm no expert with the Windows 
builds).  The downloaded Wireshark version is build with Microsoft 
Visual C++ 6.0.  What version are you using in your build environment?
