[Winpcap-users] dynamic loading of wpcap.dll

[ashish yadav]

hi..
  see apart from loading wpcap.dll at runtime..
  that dll also requires som driver running in kernel mode ...(npf.sys(as i remember the name) in this case)
  otherwise it won't work...
  so u can do this thing u can put that file in the installation diectory and register that driver..or jus tell the user to install the required library files..
  i think that would work..
  bye.

          Hello,
   
  I'm writing a ethernet-chip simulatormodule using WinPcap. The simulatormodule is written as a dll, loaded when needed by the simulator_manager. To get the module-specifics, the manager loads/unloads all modules during an enumeration at simulator startup. Because my module uses WinPcap, wpcap.dll is loaded, too. This all works fine.
   
  Except...
  When WinPcap isn't installed (no wpcap.dll on the PC), the load of my module fails (of course). This means that users that want to use the simulator, but not my module, have a problem.
   
  Question
  Is there a possibility to defer the load of wpcap.dll? Either explicitly ( pcap_Load() ) or implicit at first library-call?
   
  Thank you
