Copyright 1998-2010 Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> and contributors.

Compiled (32-bit) with GTK+ 2.16.6, with GLib 2.22.4, with WinPcap (version
unknown), with libz 1.2.3, without POSIX capabilities, without libpcre, with

18 2010), with AirPcap.
Running on 32-bit Windows 7, build 7600, with WinPcap version 4.1.2 (packet.dll
version 4.1.0.2001), based on libpcap version 1.0 branch 1_0_rel0b (20091008),
GnuTLS 2.8.5, Gcrypt 1.4.5, without AirPcap.
Built using Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 build 30729

When I run the installer for the 32-bit version of Wireshark 1.4.2, it declines
to invoke UAC, so the installer is unable to make changes to anything under
c:\Program Files.
I have to right-click on the installer and select "Run as administrator" to get
anywhere.
By the way, the build information incorrectly reported me as running Windows 7
32-bit. In fact, I am running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. I'll report that as
a separate issue. (I am running the 32-bit Wireshark because I previously found
missing components in the 64-bit version.)
