Hi all

I've just installed Wireshark Portable 1.2.0 on my favorite USB on a
Dell/Win XP SP2.
Installation went ok, but when startng WiresharkPortable.exe, I get the
following error message:

Runtime Error!

Program E:\WiresharkPortable\App\Wireshark\dumpcap.exe

The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information


Any advice ??

Sounds like you're hitting this bug:

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3547

The current workaround is to install WinPcap [1] manually before launching Wireshark Portable:
