![]() On a 64-bit version of Windows, the installer also installs libraries in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Npcap, for the benefit of 32-bit programs. There's wpcap.dll, which is the DLL that implements the Npcap API (libpcap API, with UN*X-specific APIs removed, Windows-specific APIs added, and some additional APIs), and packet.dll, which is used by wpcap.dll to communicate with the NPF driver that Npcap installs to do packet capture. If not installed in WinPcap compatible mode, the libraries are installed in C:\Windows\System32\Npcap. ![]() That option is not necessary for Wireshark Wireshark will work OK with WinPcap (assuming WinPcap itself works on your version of Windows), Npcap installed in WinPcap compatible mode, or Npcap installed not in WinPcap compatible mode. If compatibility mode is not selected, Npcap can coexist alongside WinPcap applications which only know about WinPcap will continue using that, while other applications can choose to use the newer and faster Npcap driver instead. ![]()
