From Michael Speck via https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4726 :

If "Help -> About Wireshark" is selected from Wireshark's main menu an error
message pops up:

Could not open file "<DevelopmentPath>\Wireshark_Source\wireshark-gtk2\COPYING":
No such file or directory

The attached patch handles this situation by looking for COPYING.txt instead of
COPYING on windows systems.
