In windoes 10,After copying 1 dissector file (.dll) and starting wireshark i am getting error "Couldn't load the module ..., the specific module was not found" but same module (.dll) is working fine in Windows 7 .. any suggestion ?
It was stated above:
Yes the version is same (1.6.10) on both machines.... exact error is " Could't load the module C:\Program Files\Wireshark\1.6.10\plugins\lip.dll: 'C:\Program Files\Wireshark\1.6.10\plugins\lip.dll': The specific module could not be found. "
Assuming a typical installation directory of C:\Program Files\Wireshark, on my system, and every other system I'm aware of, plugins are saved in C:\Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\<ver>\, and not in C:\Program Files\Wireshark\<ver>\plugins\.
In your case, shouldn't Wireshark be looking in C:\Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\1.6.10\? Where exactly is your lip.dll file stored? Are you sure it's stored in the correct location? What does Wireshark's "Help -> About Wireshark -> Folders -> Global Plugins" indicate?
OK, well is the error message really, Could't load the module C:\Program Files\Wireshark\1.6.10\plugins\lip.dll: 'C:\Program Files\Wireshark\1.6.10\plugins\lip.dll': The specific module could not be found.? Because it seems unlikely that it is if plugins are installed in `C:\Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\1.6.10\'.
Where does this plugin come from, e.g., who created it? If you can't get Wireshark to load it, then you might need to contact that person for support.
I don;t think its plugin issue... luckily in one of my friends laptop same DLL file is working fine and he has the same environment as mine (Wireshark 1.6.10 , Windows 10 Enterprise ) and he also tried doing same in my laptop but still its not working...which is strange...
That's a very old version of Wireshark that was end of life in June 2013, way before Windows 10 was released.
Can you confirm that you're using the same "bitness" of Wireshark (32 or 64 bit) on both Win7 and Win10 and what bitness the DLL is?

So in one case it's "Running on 64-bit Windows 7 Service Pack 1, build 7601" and in the other case it's "Running on 64-bit Windows NT, unknown version 6.2, build 9200". On my Windows 10 system, it reports, "Running on 64-bit Windows 10, build 15063". Are you sure you're running Windows 10?
