["Eubanks, Paul" <PEubanks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lately I’ve been getting into using portable applications.  Many open-source programs have had portable versions made (firefox, vlc, open office, etc…).  I wanted to make Ethereal portable, and am about 99% of the way there. 

 

I have instructions on my blog (I know) at http://peubanks.blogspot.com/

 

Now then, there’s just one thing missing from the equation – npf.sys (Part of WinPcap)has to reside on the local machine.  Is there a way to redirect Ethereal to look for npf.sys in another location besides %systemroot%\system32\drivers?  Perhaps point the program to look for that sys file in a self-contained directory where the rest of the portable program resides? 

 

Or maybe there’s an easier way I’m not aware of?
