[coLinux-devel] Silent (Seamless) PCAP Install

[Ian L. <Ian...@mq...>]

Hello,


  I saw that you guys had some left over clean-up code for an
old PCAP install attempt (from previous installers).  I'm about to
publish a better (not beta ;-) version of my installer, that allows
users to select either PCAP or TAP, but without requiring an 
external installer for either (its all self-contained).

  For some lame reason the PCAP guys won't release installer
details, but they're goofy installer leaves a complete audit/log
trail in the "WinPCAP" install dir in "install.log" (talk about 
information leakage).  I used that log, plus one error message
from the coLinux net-bridge driver, to produce the NSIS install
chunks attached.  They will seamlessly install PCAP in WinXP,
and run without a reboot.

  My only warning on this code, is that it doesn't check for any
other PCAP install ..  if you really want to check for it, they 
add regents to;

HKHM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall/WinPcapInst


Enjoy.
