Re: Qt deploy problem when installing Wireshark

[Gerald Combs <gerald () wireshark org>]

After a standard build run\RelWithDebInfo contains Wireshark and all of its associated command line utilities and 
dependencies except for the Visual C++ Redistributable DLLs. Is there any reason you can't copy the RelWithDebInfo 
directory itself? That's effectively what we do to build the PortableApps package, although we exclude a couple of file 
extensions via xcopy-deploy-exclude.txt.
