Unable to setup nRF51822 sniffer tool on Win7 PC

I have a nRF51822 development dongle. I followed by the instruction and installed the USB friver, nRFGo Studio and Wireshark. All these software are installed a Win7(64bit) PC. After I executed the "ble-sniffer_win_1.0.1_1111_Sniffer.exe", it came out the normal screen for selecting devices. I choose 1 of them and then "w". It prompted an error message about missing a file called libwireshark.dll. After I click "OK", there is another error message came out. It is about another missing file nordic_ble.dll. Then I click OK again. The wireshark launch and I can see the packet number is increasing but no packet information in the middle of the window.

Is there any software I missed to install?

Thank you for your attention.

  • Hi Jørgen,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Here is what I tried on my office PC.

    1. I run ble-sniffer_win_1.0.1_1111_Sniffer as admin but no help.
    2. (btle or nordic_ble) I'll double check this later.
    3. (libwireshark.dll) I'll double check this later
    4. Wireshark 2.2.3 is installed.

    I just install the package on another PC (my home notebook). It came out this message after I executed the "ble-sniffer_win_1.0.1_1111_Sniffer.exe".
