Hi Yang,

Thanks for doing this.

I have 2 comments and one bug/issue.

Comments:

1)      Windows XP and Vista systems are still somewhat common.  It would be 
great if the installer could be setup to install the original WinPcap binaries 
on these platforms.  Then there could be a single pcap installer for all 
Windows platforms.

2)      The Administrator mode is a good enhancement.  It would be nice if a 
middle position (between completely open and completely admin) were available 
for some environments.  Maybe membership in a paritular security group….

Bug/Issue:

With the Npcap package installed, I was unable to map a shared folder for a 
system on my LAN which had worked previously.   Uninstalling the Npcap package 
immediately allowed access to the shared folder on the other system.

Maybe you want to enable ‘issues’ in the github repository to track things like 
this.

Thanks again.

Subject: [Winpcap-users] Npcap 0.04, based on original WinPcap 4.1.3, call for 
test

Hi list,

Npcap is an update of WinPcap to NDIS 6 Light-Weight Filter (LWF) technique. 
Within Google Summer of Code 2013 and 2015, Npcap has added many features and 
become stable in its 0.04 version. I hope that you guys could test its 
functionalities, and I'd like to see WinPcap official adopt features of Npcap.

The features of Npcap are listed as belows:
1) NDIS 6 Support
2) "Admin-only Mode" Support
3) "WinPcap Compatible Mode" Support
4) Loopback Packets Capture Support
5) Loopback Packets Send Support

For more details, please go to:
https://github.com/nmap/npcap

The lastest installer will always be in:
https://svn.nmap.org/nmap-exp/yang/NPcap-LWF/

The current latest version is:
npcap-nmap-0.04-r5.exe<https://svn.nmap.org/nmap-exp/yang/NPcap-LWF/npcap-nmap-0.04-r5.exe>

Notice:
1) You need to try it under Win7 and later, and no need to change the 
installation options, just click the "Next"s. Npcap installed in "WinPcap 
Compatible Mode" is exclusive with WinPcap, so you must uninstall WinPcap first 
(installer will prompt you this).
2) If you have installed WinPcap, better to reboot the PC after uninstalling 
WinPcap and then install Npcap.


Cheers,
Yang
