Hi Dario,

I'm testing some new features of extcaps, and I'm trying to launch them
from windows console.
The compilation of Wireshark.sln goes to the end and I'm able to launch
run\RelWithDebInfo\wireshark.exe. But when I try to launch an extcap
manually as run\RelWithDebInfo\extcap\sshdump.exe --help I get the
following error: "The program can't start because libwsutil.dll is missing
from your computer"
What's the part I'm missing?


If you want to run them manually, copy the executable in the upper level
folder (wireshark.exe one). Wireshark is manually adding its installation
path to the DLL search path when launching the extcap programs, something
that does not happen when you launch them from the command line. Or I guess
adding the folder to your PATH environment variable should work also (I
have not checked this method though).

Pascal.
