Error when launching wireshark (1.8.3) in nRF Sniffer

Question

Hello, I'm using: 
 
 nRF sniffer, win_1.0.1_1111_Sniffer, 
 
 under OS 
 
 win7 64bit 
 
 Per @endnode's advice, I installed old version of 
 
 wireshark 1.8.3 
 
 I'm running the sniff firmware on nrf51dk, manufactured in 2015. 
 After locking on to the target , I press w, and this 2 error messages appear: 
 
 
 How should I proceed next? Shall I switch to a different version?

Wireshark 2.4.0 has better support it just require one manual configuration the first time you use it. (I think you shouldn't go with a version as old a 1.10.x) 
 For the "simple user" with NRFsniffer1.0.1 here is a basic help on how to use wireshark 2.4.0 or more (note it could be simplified if Nordic does an update of it's nRFsniffer): 
 
 open the sniffer 
 press w as explained in docuementation 
 
 For the first time only you open Wireshark: 
 
 go to edit->preferences->protocols->DLT_USER 
 edit the encapsulation table and add "user10 (DLT=157)" with "nordic_ble" in payload protocol field.
