Gerald,
 
I just re-read my previous email. I neglected to mention it is way cool to have WireShark compile under 64-bit. Great job dude! Wow! I installed "wireshark-win64-1.1.4-SVN-28085" under Windows 7 beta 64-bit never crashed. Windows 7 beta seems to be really stable and wireshark seems faster than Windows. Ah... Oops, I just killed it. C++ error again. It seems to be my huge .cap file that kills wirshark.

Thanks for your Time!
Brian

Gerald,
 
I've installed it on my Intel quad core 64-bit vista PC and 64-bit installed OK. I worked and crashed about the same as the 32-bit version. No noticable memory usage advantage yet. It did use all four processors fairly evenly. I was hoping to open a 2gig packet capture. I'll try it Windows 7 Beta and let you know.

Thanks for your Time!

The 64-bit Windows builder is now compiling successfully and creating
packages. If you want to try the automated builds out, you can download
them at http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/win64/

The installer seems to want to install into "Program Files (x86)" no
matter what I try to do, but other than that it installs fine and
Wireshark captures traffic.
