Bug ID 13090
Summary Wireshark upgrade installer should save and restore any .lua and .dll files
Product Wireshark
Version unspecified
Hardware x86
OS Windows NT
Status UNCONFIRMED
Severity Major
Priority Low
Component Build process
Assignee bugzilla-admin@wireshark.org
Reporter mbaker@activevideo.com 

Build Information:
Version 2.2.1 (v2.2.1-0-ga6fbd27 from master-2.2)
--
Every time a person upgrades to a new version of wireshark, they have to
"remember" to save off any [build folder] .lua (dissectors), and manually
restore them after the upgrade.  For example on Windows, currently we have:
* In C:\Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\2.2.1, we have 4 .lua files to be
copied in
* In C:\Program Files\Wireshark, we have to copy in bit.dll

Feature Request:
=================

Upon each wireshark upgrade:
----------------------------
1. Prior to uninstall of the old wireshark version, any "foreign" files should
identified along with their the folder location and copied to a temp folder

2. After the upgrade, the "foreign" files should have the file restored to its
proper location
