Thanks, got it!!

The issue is in zlib1.dll.

In fact, on the development machine there are two different zlib1.dll,
both of them with version 1.2.5.0 but with different size:
- zlib1.dll under C:\wireshark\wireshark-gtk2 (same in
C:\wireshark-win32-libs\zlib125): 67,584 byte [btw, it is the same
zlib1.dll belonging to the Stable Release 1.6.1)
- zlib1.dll under C:\wireshark-win32-libs\gtk2\bin: 100,352 byte

The installer uses the first one (67,584 byte), but it is wrong.
Manually copying the second one (100,352 byte) on the target PC, it
works properly!

I agree that this should be fixed.
