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.

  Alberto,

  XPE is not officially supported by WinPcap. NetMon is not important in this case. When the installer tells you "You will be able to use WinPcap on standard network adapters, but not on dialup connections and VPNs." it means that it will install a version of the DLLs that does not depend on NetMon.

  You said that you are unable to capture traffic. Is the NIC listed by WinPcap?

  Have a nice day

  Hi,

  we are running into some troubles while trying to install WinPCap 4.1.2 under Windows XPE.

  If we install it "alone" (i.e. without Netmon), we have the following warning:

  "An error occurred when installing the Microsoft Network Monitor Driver (NetMon) (0x800F0203)
  You will be able to use WinPcap on standard network adapters, but not on dialup connections and VPNs.
  Please contact ...
  The installation will now continue."

  But actually WinPCap has problem even with packets coming from standard NIC, i.e., we are unable to capture traffic.

  So we tried to install NetMon before WinPCap. It installs fine (as long as we did not have any message telling us
  that an error occurred while installing netmon, we concluded that the installation went fine).
  If now we install WinPCap after NetMon, we have a different error message, telling that a problem has
  occurred and to look into install.log for details.

  install.log is here attached. Mainly WinPCap seems unable to find netmon-related DLLs. And actually
  those are not on the pc, so probably netmon installation has failed.
  If we manually copy these files from a working XP machine, WInPcap still complains that some of
  them are missing.

  So, I think that we are facing a big installation problem: anyone has successfully installed WinPCap on
  the top of a XPE ? If yes, which are mandatory XPE components that should be there in order for the
  installation to complete nicely ? Have you installed it with or without NetMon ? If with, how can you
  managed to have NetMon installed ?

  Any other suggestion ? We can do additional tests if needed...

  Thanks a lot,
  AA.
