Re: Lua on Windows 7, 64-bit

[f4king it <f4kingit () gmail com>]

To work around it, I just added the following to the end of C:\Program
Files\Wireshark\init.lua

dofile("test.lua")

Now, I do see the Tools -> Test -> Packets menu item, but after loading a
capture and opening it, there's nothing, as if the tap is not really
working. Any thoughts? Is this example out-of-date?

Thanks.
