I thought that Wireshark must have registered itself as one of the environment variables, when it ran from the start->run .. I couldn't find anything in the environment variables but. I'll just navigate to the directory from the program and execute wireshark from there as you pointed.

Thanks.

I'm not sure why you can run it from the Start->Run dialog as I cannot.
At the prompt, you need to change into the Wireshark directory first
because the Wireshark program directory usually isn't in the path.  Do
something like:

cd "\program files\wireshark"

Then run Wireshark with the command arguments desired.
