[Wireshark-dev] [Winpcap-team] Help! Errorinstalling the MSNetwork Monitor
Driver [Resolution toWinpcap installation error]
GV,
Thanks for the reply. It's good to know that the issue is being
addressed. The fix in the latest beta did not work for me. The main reason
that I posted my tip was to offer an alternative solution. The XP SP2 image
that I'm using must have some additional issues which cause the WinPcap
installer to fail to address the problem. For some users installing the Netmon
package from Microsoft might be a better solution, because it might be very
difficult for you to account for all of the non-standard or stripped
configurations of Windows (such as mine).
I didn't find the suggestion about installing Netmon during my searches
on Google. So I mostly wanted to share the idea as widely as possible so that
when someone else runs into the same problem, they can benefit from my
experience. The important thing is to resolve the issue one way or another.
Thanks,
Matt

We are aware of the problem with
stripped down versions of Windows XP. Newer versions of the WinPcap
installer detect the problem, return the error and install a slightly
different version of the DLLs that do not require NetMon (with the
limitation of not being able to capture on dialup adapters).
Have a nice day

[Winpcap-team] Help! Error installing the MSNetwork Monitor Driver
[Resolution to Winpcap installation error]
Error: "An error occurred while 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 WinPcap
team."
I've been struggling with this error for the past 2 hours
and I finally found a solution. Now I'm finally able to run GNS (Cisco
emulator). I believe the problem stems from using a heavily customized
version (i.e. stripped) of Windows XP SP2. First I tried uninstall Winpcap
and installing the latest beta release which didn't help. Then I tried
installing Windows XP Support Tool and running "c:\Program Files\Support
Tools\netcap.exe", which failed to work. So that led me down a different
route which was to install Microsoft Network Monitor 3.2 from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f4db40af-1e08-4a21-a26b-ec2f4dc4190d&displaylang=en#filelist
After
installing Netmon 3.2, I ran the program and everything launched without a
problem. So I ran the Winpcap beta again. Note that I still got the error
during installation, but I was able to run Dynamips. This finally allowed
me to launch GNS and start using it. I know other people have run into
this problem and I hope this information will help avoid reinstallations
of Windows.
Thanks,
Matt
