I'm not sure why you can run it from the Start->Run dialog as I cannot.  
At the prompt, you need to change into the Wireshark directory first 
because the Wireshark program directory usually isn't in the path.  Do 
something like:

cd "\program files\wireshark"

Then run Wireshark with the command arguments desired.
