Cant upload the screenshot, I got no karma. The Visual C++ Redistributable installer failed with error 38. Please make sure you have KB2999226 or KB3118401 installed. Unable to continue installation.

Those KB's are for pre-windows 10 OS.

vc_redist.x64.exe runs/installs without error.

Wireshark-win64-3.6.3.exe installs without error.

Wireshark-win64-3.6.4.msi installs without error.

Adding to this, I can extract the vcredist_x64 installer from the Wireshark install files when the install fails and run it manually without issue. Also note I had uninstalled all VS2015 versions of vcredist and had rebooted.

Running into this issue myself. My results are identical to ops. Like previously stated, the KB's mentioned in the error are for pre-windows 10 OS, i.e. Windows 8 and older.

Like OP, version 3.6.3 installs fine. Version 3.6.4 and 3.6.5 both fail with the same error.

The installer stops at

"C:\Program Files\Wireshark\vcredist_x64.exe" /install /quiet /norestart
vcredist_x64 returned 110

However, the Visual C++ Installer at that file location is actually vc_redist.x64.exe

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Wireshark\ and rename vc_redist.x64.exe to vcredist_x64.exe and the installation should run fine.
