Hello All,
 
I'm running Wireshark Version 0.99.4 (SVN Rev 19757) over Windows XP. If I try to show the capture options, or list available interfaces, or start a live capture, I get the following error:
 
Unable to load WinPcap (wpcap.dll); Wireshark will not be able to capture packets.
 
I have installed WinPcap 4.0. It is under "C:\Program Files\WinPcap" and wpcap.dll is in "C:\WINDOWS\system32".
 
Wireshark is installed in "C:\Program Files\Wireshark".
 
I've looked through the WinPcap FAQ and can actually see nfs running. Am I missing something? Do I need to do something additional or change my setup in some manner?
 
Thanks.
