The machine that builds the Wireshark binaries in the official installer
download *does* have it installed, and uses it to build Wireshark (more like
"Visual C", as it's currently all written in C); the error is coming from the
Visual C runtime, which is installed as part of Wireshark (C programs need the
C runtime).
The error might be something such as "This application has requested the
Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way", which usually means that the
application, or a library it uses, has called abort(), which Wireshark does in
some cases where it's detected what it thinks is an internal inconsistency
(which means that there's probably a Wireshark bug somewhere) and which the
GLib library (which Wireshark uses) calls when the application runs out of
"memory", which really means "runs out of address space (more likely with the
32-bit version of Wireshark) or page file space".
