There are multiple versions of packet.dll, depending on the OS winpcap gets 
installed on. Some of them depend on wanpacket.dll

WanPacket.dll is used to capture from dialup/VPN adapters.

No. npf.sys and packet.dll should be matching versions.

Why are you trying to create your own custom installer of WinPcap? The 
installer installs different versions of the files depending on the OS. 
Making your own custom installer is the perfect recipe for trouble.

Have a nice day
