It's certainly possible I missed a step somewhere, but (1) the generated installer installs fine on Windows 7, and installs into the "Program Files" directory (rather than "Program Files (x86)", implying that it's a 64-bit app), and (2) it runs on Windows 7 with no problems.Well, but the error message you quoted was "Wireshark is not a valid Win32 Application." That implies to me that the OS in question (XP or Windows 7) is a 32-bit app whereas it appears you've built a 64-bit app.
Actually, the OS in question are Vista and XP. I'm working with a Vista system at the moment. And it *is* 64-bit, as I can install the official Windows 64-bit wireshark package and run it.
