Can't update Wireshark within application
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I've had this problem ever since I started using Wireshark and the developers seem to have not fixed it or improved it in any way. I use Wireshark on Windows, so I'm not sure if the same problem exists in other OS versions.
Issue: When I launch the Wireshark application (Windows), it checks for updates. If there is an update and I choose to install it, it will download the update, and when it finishes downloading, I click "Install update", and it will give some kind of error that the application is still open and needs to be closed. I close the app, and the option to Install Update disappears with it.
I'm not sure why this is still an issue after all this time. Can't the application just close itself and update? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

Windows version? Are there any elevation requests when attempting the update?
Yes it's the WIndows version. No, there isn't any elevation requests.
Sorry, I meant which version of Windows?
Any version of Windows. I'm using Windows 7. I just tried it now when trying to upgrade from 2.6.0 to 2.6.1 and got this error
Wireshark cannot be restarted. Make sure that you don't have any unsaved documents and try again.
I get this error even after I open a saved PCAP file and try to update within the application.
I had the same problem, run the application as administrator and it worked fine. May be the message on screen needs to be fixed.
