You need to run Wireshark from a directory which contains the required 
DLL's.

After the build completes there should be a directory called 
'wireshark-gtk2' under your top-level build directory. Switch to that 
directory and then run wireshark.

Please review and follow the instructions in the Wireshark Developer's 
guide Section 2.2 (if you haven't already been doing so).  You'll have 
less problems ...    :)

   4. run C:\wireshark\wireshark-gtk2\wireshark.exe and check if it starts

    5. check Help/About if it shows your "private" program version, e.g.:
       Version 0.99.4-myprotocol123 - you might run a release version 
previously installed!
