==== Install Qt
The main Wireshark application uses the Qt windowing toolkit. To install
Qt download the *Qt Online Installer for Windows* from the Qt Project
https://www.qt.io/download-open-source/["Download Open Source" page] and

packages. You can deselect all the Qt xxxx (e.g. Qt Charts) components

Note that installation of separate Qt components are required for 32 bit
and 64 bit builds, e.g. ``msvc2017 32-bit'' and ``msvc2017 64-bit''. The
