<DIV><FONT size=2>As a matter of facts, the installer *should* be smart enough
to detect when a previous installation is on the system, remove it *and* ask to
reboot if necessary (basically, the installer knows which old versions require a
reboot). The problem you encountered ("WinPcap 3.1 is already installed.....")
is probably due to some other weird bug in the installer (it has nothing to do
with reboot, in fact you had to force the installation of an old version to fix
the issue).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Lou, do you know which old version of WinPcap was installed on
your machine, so that I can try to replicate it on my machines and fix the
installer?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>No problemo :) Word of advice though, after uninstalling
anything dealing with drivers like WinPCap...restart RIGHT after uninstalling,
or atleast don't remove the files yourself.<BR><BR>

face=Garamond>I am having a problem with the new WinPcap 3.1.
I had a previous version installed, and had uninstalled it.
Now I am trying to install 3.1, but I keep getting an error message
that 3.1 is already installed and the installation is
aborting. 3.1 is not installed, there is not an un-installer
or program directory. I have removed packet.dll, nfs.dll, and
cleaned the registry, but I keep getting this message that 3.1 is
already installed. <BR><BR>Has anybody else experienced
