I'm unsure of anyone else's experience but this has never worked for
me - and I have also got the same C++ error boxes during the dissector
loading on startup. I suppose, in theory, it would be ideal if you
could just drop the dll in, but I have resigned to the fact that I
have to deliver a custom build to users if I want them to be able to
use my plugins. Ideally (and keeping in with the spirit of
open-source) you should check in your new dissector to the Wireshark
SVN repository and get it included in the next build so your users can
just download an official version, but I can understand (as I'm in
that situation) that your firm may not want details of their
proprietry protocol's made available in open source.
On a side note, the only thing I don't like about it is the words
'Development Build' stamped on the UI graphics - but you tend to find
that once users have seen how useful it can be they forget about it :)
If anyone knows a way around this, though, I'd also be very grateful
for the advice!
Thanks,
Chris
