It's been a while since I needed this, but I just tested this and confirmed that the sniffer does function after uninstalling usbpcap and wireshark and then reinstalling wireshark without usbpcap. I don't need usbpcap right now so my issue is solved for now. Thanks

yes, it's work.

I just modify the nrf_sniffer.bat

----------

@echo off
C:\Python27\python.exe "%~dp0nrf_sniffer.py" %*

My status is same with Henkie, stop in "wireshark initializing capture plugins".

I think I've experienced the same issue. My problem was the USB capture driver, WinCAP or something. I needed to uninstall everything related to the USB capture driver en re-install all associated programs from scratch according to the sniffer user guide.

This is a general driver that is used by programs such as wireshark to listen for certain packets on the USB.
