Can anyone help fix this?

[daiver4eg]

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

Can anyone help fix this?

[Cybaen13]

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:

I'm stuck there at the moment

[roman-orekhov]

Just rename the files replacing the dots with something like "_"
c:\Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\winshark\Microsoft.Windows.HyperV.VmIcCore.lua
c:\Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\winshark\Microsoft.Windows.HyperV.GpupVDev.lua
should become
c:\Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\winshark\Microsoft_Windows_HyperV_VmIcCore.lua
c:\Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\winshark\Microsoft_Windows_HyperV_GpupVDev.lua

Also this doesn't affect anything apart from these two providers.
