======= 8< ========
If your version of the compiler does not have SetEnv.Cmd you may need to use
vcvarsall.bat or vcvars32.bat which do much the same thing as SetEnv.cmd. For
example, on some 64-bit installations, one would build a 32-bit version by
invoking
> "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat
and one would build a 64-bit version using the command
> "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\Vcvarsall.bat" amd64
Consult your compiler’s documentation to learn which version applies to your
installation.
======= 8< ========
In the latest version of Visual Studio 2010EE (as suggested by the
instructions), vcvars32.bat doesn't exist anymore, it is now all vcvarsall.bat
and the expected argument is x86.

"Skip" item so it shows a version number for:
Archive/unzip
Base/dos2unix
Devel/bison
Devel/flex
Devel/git (recommended - see discussion about using Git below)
Interpreters/perl
Utils/patch (optional)
Web/wget
======= 8< ========
base/dos2unix is in utils, while you need to add interpreters/m4 to the list to
get ascend.y converted by bison into ascend.c.
The same page has conflicting path names. Generally it talks about
c:\development\wireshark, but in the Build Wireshark section and in the Create
Wireshark Installer section it still refers to c:\wireshark:
Run C:\wireshark\wireshark-gtk2\wireshark.exe and make sure it starts. s
Run >
C:\wireshark\packaging\nsis\wireshark-win32-wireshark-major-minor-version:[].x-myprotocol123.exe
to test your new installer.
Further as a general statement please add that if the Visual C++ installation
or the SDK or the Service Pack upgrades constantly fail, that
