there are two versions of packet.dll (as of 4.1beta5), the 32bit one and the 64
bit one.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>The 32bit one goes to windows\sysWOW64</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Moreover, if the application that you use to copy the files is
32bit (e.g. you use total commander), then things get more complicated. The
*real* windows\system32 folder is hidden. If you try to open a file in
windows\system32, the OS redirects your calls to windows\sysWOW64.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Out of curiosity, why are you trying to recompile and manually
install WinPcap. In some previous mail you were saying that you needed to build
a WinPcap-based application. If so, there is no need to recompile WinPcap and
reproduce the installer.</FONT></DIV>

Packet.dll to load onr Vista</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">
<DIV>Well, if I install the Wdpcap exe, and it installs a Packet.dll in the
Windoes\System - or SysWOW64 directory, it can be found and runs. But when I
build my own Packet dll in Win32 or 64 bit and put both in Windows System or
SysWOW64, the Vista cannot "see" or load them. Whne I rename mine to
Packet.dll_mine and rename the one installed by the Wdpcap installer to
Packet.dll, everything is fine. By the way, under XP Pro, my Packet dll loads
and runs fine. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Something is preventing a debug version to load under Vista. Anyone else
having this problem and have a solution?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
