Well, I’ve done a lot of searching around, seems that people are able to use wireshark on windows 7. I am using win7 professional, and every time I launch the program, it starts to load then exits. This is the output of event viewer:
Faulting application name: wireshark.exe, version: 1.3.1.30724, time stamp: 0x4ae64ed2
Faulting module name: MSVCR90.dll, version: 9.0.30729.4926, time stamp: 0x4a1743c1

Report Id: a88714f5-cdd4-11de-bc33-00219be8a028
Clearly, as you can tell, I installed the development version because that’s what people said ran on win 7. Help??
