Hi may be historic from Windows installer : (in wireshark.nsi line 48-52)
; NSIS shows Readme files by opening the Readme file with the default
application for
; the file's extension. "README.win32" won't work in most cases, because
extension "win32"
; is usually not associated with an appropriate text editor. We should use
extension "txt"
; for a text file or "html" for an html README file.
I known it is for README file, but in the past, COPYING will be display
with Windows installer
