I am not an expert but, I just took a look at config.nmake and it says
# "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition"
# needs additional Platform SDK installation?
# Visual C++ 9.0, _MSC_VER 1500, msvcr90.dll
# With this variant, Wireshark will compile but fails to run!
#
# THIS VARIANT CURRENTLY WON'T WORK - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
#MSVC_VARIANT=MSVC2008EE
I don't see a MSVC2008 in the make files, so it looks like it hasn't been
done before...maybe download 2005 Express Edition (Free)

I hope that helps,
Jim
