WinPcap 4.0.2 and 4.1beta5 do not officially support Win7. The best way to use WinPcap under Win7 for the moment is to run the installer for 4.1beta5 in compatibility mode for Vista.

i have noticed a same issue within Windows 7 x64, 

during install, WinPcap 1.1beta5 cannot install (compatability issue, can suffice with non-beta WinPcap version), and on execution, dumpcap.exe hangs, would this be the same for you bob?

I installed 1.2.2 today on Vista 64 and now it crashes immediately when started.
I also allowed it to install the beta of WinPcap. I have rebooted and tried a
re-install, but not without the de-install.

Vista 64, fully up to date on patches. AMD dual processor, Turion something or
other I think, on an HP DV5z laptop, with 4GB.

What might be going on here?

Cheers, Bob

OK: Please add a comment to Bug #2478 with the version output from
Wireshark -v (and mention that the problem also happens when clicking
the "How to Capture" and etc.

Thanks

PS: I recently looked at this again but found nothing obvious
(on XP).
