WinPCap Install for sniffer inputs #19

Tried using NPCap as a replacement for WinPCap since I’m seeing that it’s not supported on Windows 10. I haven’t been able to register a single input on guitar sniffer. It doesn’t even have that code at the bottom. I’m not sure if I’m just missing something, but if someone could put me on the right track, that would be amazing.

The code at the bottom just represents the latest packet that was read. It's blank until it reads the first one. Since yours isn't picking up any you won't see one, so don't worry too much about that.

I don't know anything about NPCap, but WinPCap works just fine on Windows 10/11, I've used it on both now. I downloaded the version linked in the instructions page when I recently set up my newest laptop with Windows 11, but just in case, it's version 4.1.3. vJoy is version 2.1.9.1. USBPCap is 1.5.4.0

If you follow the instructions exactly it should work. Then I always run the sniffer as admin. Every now and then it closes immediately after opening and I just have to reinstall WinPCap to get it running again
