My building env commands on Windows 7 64 bits, depending on the target :
- "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" if 2008 & win32 - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\bin\vcvars64.bat" if 2008 & win64 - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" if 2010 & win32 - call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\SetEnv.cmd" /x64 if 2010 & win64

Could exist other possibilities.

Thank you John.

Unfortunately, I am not in a position to re install my windows image if something goes wrong. So I would wait for some one else to explain why this mysterious "if you want to build 64-bit binaries for Windows 7" is present in the tutorial, I hope that it would be for some good reason and I can work around this problem in a simpler way.

Otherwise,I will have to take your advise and do all the steps in some other windows installation.

    I ran into the same problem, where I realized that I needed the
    Windows SDK to do the actual build in Windows 7 32-bit.

    The problem was that my development install was broken where I
    could not properly install the Windows SDK (step 2) if I already
    installed the C compiler service pack (step 4).  I would uninstall
    whatever you have done in section 2.2.1, and reinstall *all* those
    components in order from steps 1 through 4.  Unfortunately, I had
    to re-image my Windows installation before I could get the
    Wireshark build process to work because the uninstall broke the
    registry to the point that I couldn't get Windows SDK to
    re-install properly.  Starting over, I could get the Wireshark
    installation to work if I ran each step without skipping steps 2
    or 4, this time installing the Windows SDK even though I was on a
    32-bit Windows 7 computer.

    I would consider removing the "if you want to build 64-bit
    binaries for Windows 7" text simply because it can give people the
    impression that you don't need to install it if you have Windows 7
    32-bit.  If someone has successfully built Wireshark for Windows 7
    32-bit skipping steps 2 and 4 of section 2.2.1, then I must have a
    misunderstanding somewhere.

    Hope it helps!
    John D.
