When will there be a 64bit portable WS? Do I need the 64bit Wireshark on a 64bit Win7 system? Or can I run 32bit Wireshark on a 64bit Win7 as well? I would like to take the 32bit Wireshark PORTABLE version. Unfortunately there is no 64bit Wireshark portable version so I have to
take
the 32bit.
[Graham Bloice said] Sure, I do it all the time. In fact, I've never actually run 64 bit Wireshark, even though my OS's are all 64 bit. Unless you need the capability of looking at large captures that will force Wireshark to exceed the 32 bit process memory limit of 2GB, then the 64 bit version is unnecessary. Some folks have also reported issues on Ask Wireshark when running 64 bit Wireshark with captures not showing packets transmitted from the capturing system, see http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/9752/only-capturing-syn-packets-no-syn- acks-or-acks and http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/14259/win7-64bit-wireshark-182-only-can -capture-receive-packets. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
