Let me give you an update as to where I think we are. U3: === In order to get on the U3 site, WiresharkPortable needs to go through a certification process with the U3 guys: http://www.u3.com/developers/technical/certification.aspx Now they provide a very nice self-test utility which WiresharkPortable passes. However, there is still [at least] one issue I know of with the WiresharkPortable which would be shown up by their third-party testing. [This known issue is that Wireshark[Portable] will crash if you eject the U3 device when Wireshark still running and has a dialog up (it behaves correctly if there is no dialog up). I haven't been able to determine the problem - there is no U3-specific code here (a separate application just sends a WM_CLOSE to each Wireshark window).] Now the U3 guys will only test a U3 application for free twice (this is a commercial outfit after all), so I/we really need to fix this outstanding issue before making a submission. And on the same basis, it is probably worth waiting for a "major" release - e.g. 1.0. We would still be limited to two submissions - so the Wireshark version on u3.com website would be quickly out of date. We could do really use a "check for updates" feature! :-) However, I think it is worth trying once. PortableApps: ============= I'd missed that this package was now available on the download page, and not even marked as experimental! Given that people seem to be happy with it, I'll post a message to the beta-testing forum (http://portableapps.com/forums/development/beta_testing) to let the PortableApps testers loose on it. After we have been through that process, we should be able to get it on the PortableApps site.
