[Winpcap-users] Silent Install of future WinPCAP versions

[Tobias S]

Hmmm that might be possible but somehow very hacky.

Additional arguments against such a hacky solution: No correct version
handling and registry parameters stay like in the old version. What happens
in Upgrade Scenarios with such a hacky 4.1.1 when installing the 4.1.3 from
WinPCAP? Then e.g. a 4.1.2 install could damage the 4.1.3 assemblies from
the hacky installer. Who handles e.g. when a 3.x version of WinPCAP is
installed and so on? The whole functionality and cross functionality
between NMAP WInPCAP + WinPCAP WinPcap Installer must be considered and
verified.

Mean the fallback approach will be same like in Wireshark: WinPCAP 4.1.3
and customer has to click through the install himself. But then e.g.
customer could disable "Automatically start the WInPcap driver at boot
time" ...

BTW: The sources of NMAP WinPCAP are available and so also a custom version
of NMAP WinPCAP could be built using NSIS.
