Hi,

It stays in memory (GUI or tshark version) so that when I run another compile on windows, during the copy of the exe

is good.

If I build the standard WS 1.6.0, all is good, but not with my code included.

Your code is creating any threads?
I think unfinished threads might cause such behaviour or it can be some never ending loop.

Probably the easiest way to find the problem would be to attach debugger after quiting wireshark.

Cheers,
