I'm not an expert with Wireshark on Windows build problems, but I suspect that the problem is that you're copying just Wireshark.exe to the installed folder. You can either run it out of <wireshark build folder>\wireshark-gtk2 (ex: C:\Wireshark\wireshark-gtk2) or build an installation package and install it. You can build a .exe install package from the command line with "nmake -f Makefile.nmake packaging" then find the installer file in <wireshark build folder>\packaging\nsis\.
