Hi, everyone. I got the code signing license just now and had WinPcap 4.1.3 for Nmap signed. Now you guys can test NPcap installer without entering the boring test mode!
The wpcap.dll version bug was repaired according to the feedback. And I have tested it under Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64.
revision:31892
The installer only:https://svn.nmap.org/nmap-exp/yang/NPcap-LWF/installer/winpcap-nmap-4.1.3-NDIS6-1.0.exe
The entire code base:https://svn.nmap.org/nmap-exp/yang/NPcap-LWF
Notice: Save your data in case your system suddenly crashes for BSoD.
Cheers,Yang

Hi,

I'm still getting the error message:

---------------------------
WinPcap 4.1.3 for Nmap (NPcap) Setup
---------------------------
Failed to create the npf service for Win7 and Win8. Please try
installing WinPcap again, or use the official WinPcap installer from
www.winpcap.org
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

What I did was uninstalling the original WinPcap and then trying to
install your version. I forgot to reboot though, so that might be the
cause. When after rebooting I tried to run your installer again,
here's what I got:

---------------------------
WinPcap 4.1.3 for Nmap (NPcap) Setup
---------------------------
Skipping WinPcap installation since version 4.1.0.3001 already exists
on this system. Uninstall that version first if you wish to force
install.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

I couldn't find your WinPcap in the add/remove menu.

Yours,
Jacek Wielemborek

Thanks for your reply. If you received the "Skipping WinPcap installation since version 4.1.0.3001 already exists on this system. Uninstall that version first if you wish to force install." message, You could just delete the wpcap.dll in your system32 dir to avoid the message and reinstall it again. Sometimes the installer reports "Failed to create the npf service for Win7 and Win8", but it is maybe already successfully installed. So even the installer fails, you can have a try for Nmap or Wireshark to see the actual effect. The method above is some kind of bypass way, and I will figure on how to fix it.

Cheers,
Yang

Hi again,

I removed the wpcap.dll, tried to uninstall WinPcap and the message
box appears again:

---------------------------
WinPcap 4.1.3 for Nmap (NPcap) Setup
---------------------------

I tried uninstalling Nmap as well, nothing helped.

Hi Jacek,

I can't explain why you still encountered that message box after wpcap.dll is deleted. If you take a look at the Line 223 at WinPcap 4.1.3 for Nmap installer NSIS script (https://svn.nmap.org/nmap-exp/yang/NPcap-LWF/installer/NPcap-for-nmap.nsi), you will see that if the wpcap.dll file does not exist, the installer won't do the version checking, nor the message box will show up. Maybe you can help me take a look at that part of the script? Thanks.

Cheers,
Yang

I tried installing winpcap-nmap-4.1.3-NDIS6-1.1.exe. The installation
went smoothly and I saw the dialog about the software being signed.

Running Nmap doesn't work, however. I get the same --iflist output with
<none> in the WINDEVICE column, and scanning gives "Failed to open
device eth0".

When I run "net start npf" in an administrator console, I get the error

System error 2 has occurred.

The system cannot find the file specified.

Hi David,

You have definitely found a bug! I have reproduced this bug on Windows 8 (x86 and x64), but with no luck on Windows 7. Whatever, I am trying to figure out how to fix it under Win8 and I think Win7 would be OK too.

Cheers,
Yang
