Downloading Wireshark

Q 2.1: Why do I get an error when I try to run the Win32 installer?

A: The program you used to download it may have downloaded it incorrectly. Web browsers and download accelerators sometimes may do this.
Try downloading it with, for example:

  • Wget, for which Windows binaries are available from Christopher Lewis or wGetGUI, which offers a GUI interface that uses wget;
  • WS_FTP from Ipswitch,
  • the ftp command that comes with Windows.
If you use the ftp command, make sure you do the transfer in binary mode rather than ASCII mode, by using the binary command before transferring the file.
