That is because there isn't any solution file. The build is done via command line, but you can build from visual studio using the nmake tools also using a batch-file that calls the nmake command. That is how I solved it in VS 2003 since I couldn't get it to work by using the command directly. I think it depended on the location. With the batch-file I can change the current directory, but I couldn't find a way to do it without the batch-file. If you have the source in the project directory you can probably use the command "nmake -f Makefile.nmake all" directly. (and all the others that need to be executed, you have to read README.developer or the developer Manual found on the Wireshark homepage.

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Problem on the source code of 1.0.3 version
I downloaded the source code of 1.0.3 version since I want a stable release. I can successfully build it and run.
However, I cannot find any solution or project file for VC++, although I can see that in the source code package of latest development release.
Is there sth wrong? I just started to look at this project and would appreciate any advice you give.
Many thanks,
Joshua
