To work around it, I just added the following to the end of C:\Program Files\Wireshark\init.lua
dofile("test.lua") Now, I do see the Tools -> Test -> Packets menu item, but after loading a capture and opening it, there's nothing, as if the tap is not really working. Any thoughts? Is this example out-of-date? Thanks. On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 6:31 PM, f4king it <f4kin...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, what is the <personal config dir> [1] on Windows 7, 64-bit?
