Gerald,
Thanks for your very prompt response.
Now the problem has fixed.
Issue is : mismatch of redistribution file "vcredist_x86.exe",previously I developed wireshark setup with VC2005 vcredist_x86.exe, instead of VC2008 EE vcredist_x86.exe.

Wireshark on Windows requires the C Runtime DLL (msvcr90.dll for Visual
C++ 2008) in order to run. The Express Editions of Visual C++ 2005 and
2008 don't come with a this DLL. Instead you have to install
vcredist_x86.exe (or vcredist_x64.exe on 64-bit Windows) on the target
system.

If you have MSVC_VARIANT defined to "MSVC2008EE" in config.nmake, it
_should_ bundle up vcredist_x64.exe with the installer and stop the
build if you don't have it. Does it not do that on your system?
