I have created a wireshark dissector and it works great. When I am out 
in the field I like to use this dissector. But first I have to install 
wireshark on each laptop then drop my .dll in the plugins directory.
I am just trying to cut out a step and create the installer with my 
dissector in place but I cannot get it to work. I can successfully 
create the installer... but my dissector is not included in it.

I have followed the instructions on this site (section 2.2.13).
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html

My checked out wireshark code is in:    c:\wireshark\trunk    and my 
plugin is in the plugins directory with all the other plugins:   
C:\wireshark\trunk\plugins

When I run the following

C:\wireshark\trunk>nmake -f Makefile.nmake packaging

I get NO errors and it does indeed create the installer in the following 
directory    C:\wireshark\trunk\packaging\nsis

But it does NOT include my dissector when I install it.

I have edited the Makefile.nmake in the nsis directory to include my 
plugins .dll file (but that didn't work)

I have also edited the Makefile.nmake in the plugins directory to 
include my plugins .dll file (but that didn't work either).

Does anybody know WHY this is not working..??

Have you added your plugin to packaging/nsis/custom_plugins.txt?
