Try to use old version of wireshark Wireshark-win64-3.7.2.msi

Can anyone help fix this?

Hello Has anyone find a way to make it work with later versions? I had the same issue, solving it lead to another one: By Looking into it, the problem comes from the missing folders Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\winshark\Microsoft\Windows\HyperV However there are two files with this path in the name

Microsoft.Windows.HyperV.GpupVDev.lua
Microsoft.Windows.HyperV.VmIcCore.lua

By Creating missing path Microsoft\Windows\HyperV in the folder winshark, and moving the previous named files in this new path with the following names

GpupVDev.lua
VmIcCore.lua

I was able to bypass this error. However, this lead to an error coming from Lua:
