<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [Winpcap-users] What dlls should
I copy to include WinPcap 4 in myapplication</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV><BR><BR>Hi all,<BR><BR>I have developed an application based on WinPcap
4.0 beta. While making installer I have copied<BR>Packet.dll, wpcap.dll,
WanPacket.dll in system32 as well as in the application folder and copied
npf.sys and npfs.sys to system32/driver folder. But still the application
fails to launch if I do not install WinPcap 4 in that particular PC.<BR><BR>So
I guess I am missing to do something that the WinPcap installer does. Can
anybody please suggest what else should I do. In fact I do not like to install
WinPcap separately.<BR></DIV><FONT size=2></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Souvik,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I suggest you not to try to install WinPcap on your own by
manually copying the DLLs/driver files of WinPcap. This is one of the main
sources of broken WinPcap installations. Even if you succeed in having
WinPcap installed by manually copying the files, and installing the kernel
driver, you will break any existing installation of WinPcap on the target
machine. Or worse, any further attempt to install the official WinPcap will make
a mess to your installation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>There are two solutions to your problem: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>- embed the WinPcap installer in your installer (and tell the
user "hey, now I will start the installation of WinPcap, just hit continue and
everything will be fine"). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>- if your product is a commercial one, you can think of using
WinPcap Professional, which solves the hassle of having a separate installer for
WinPcap. You can find more details on WinPcap Professional on the CACE
website, <A href="http://www.cacetech.com">www.cacetech.com</A></FONT></DIV>
