[Winpcap-users] winpcap 4.1.1 won't install, says i already have an older version

[Keith Brown]

I’m trying to install the Managment Utility for my TP-Link TL-PA211 powerline adaptors, which seems to rely on WinPcap 4.1.1.

I’m running Windows 7 64-bit Professional on a custom built desktop pc.

During installation it says “A previous Version of WinPcap has been detected on this system and cannot be removed because in use by another application. Please close all the WinPcap-based applications and run the installer again”

Now I've never installed WinPcap myself before, and i don’t know what i have installed which may have done as a side effect.

I’ve done some digging and discovered that WinPcap doesn't appear in the list of programs to uninstall in programs and features.

I also found this exchange on the board and tried following it http://www.winpcap.org/pipermail/winpcap-users/2006-July/001246.html

I found packet.dll and wpcap.dll in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 as i ran a full search, and i found npf.sys in C:\Windows\System32\drivers all of them had the same version of 4.0.0.1040

What should i do?
