[Winpcap-users] Problem when installing WinPCap 4.1.2 under WindowsXPE

[Alberto Avanzi]

  Hi Gianluca,

no, WinPCap does not see any NIC on the machine.
It seems to me that we already managed to install WinPCap on XPE in the 
past... probably
some OS services or components are missing (you know, XPE is only XP 
minus a lot of things).

If I can figure out what is missing, I can modify my XPE image in order 
to add it...

Any idea or hint for discovering from where the problems come ?

Thanks a lot,
Alberto.
