[Winpcap-users] Problem when installing WinPCap 4.1.2 under Windows XPE

  Hi,

we are running into some troubles while trying to install WinPCap 4.1.2 
under Windows XPE.

If we install it "alone" (i.e. without Netmon), we have the following 
warning:

"An error occurred when installing the Microsoft Network Monitor Driver 
(NetMon) (0x800F0203)
You will be able to use WinPcap on standard network adapters, but not on 
dialup connections and VPNs.
Please contact ...
The installation will now continue."

But actually WinPCap has problem even with packets coming from standard 
NIC, i.e., we are unable to capture traffic.

So we tried to install NetMon before WinPCap. It installs fine (as long 
as we did not have any message telling us
that an error occurred while installing netmon, we concluded that the 
installation went fine).
If now we install WinPCap after NetMon, we have a different error 
message, telling that a problem has
occurred and to look into install.log for details.

install.log is here attached. Mainly WinPCap seems unable to find 
netmon-related DLLs. And actually
those are not on the pc, so probably netmon installation has failed.
If we manually copy these files from a working XP machine, WInPcap still 
complains that some of
them are missing.

So, I think that we are facing a big installation problem: anyone has 
successfully installed WinPCap on
the top of a XPE ? If yes, which are mandatory XPE components that 
should be there in order for the
installation to complete nicely ? Have you installed it with or without 
NetMon ? If with, how can you
managed to have NetMon installed ?

Any other suggestion ? We can do additional tests if needed...

Thanks a lot,
AA.
