Cannot install npcap #286

Open lxman opened 3 years ago

lxman commented 3 years ago

Trying to install Wireshark on a windows 10 x64 machine. End up with a 255 error during the npcap installation and hang on the line Could not load: C:\Users\mjordan\AppData\Local\Temp\nsdDB25.tmp\SimpleSC.dll. I end up having to kill the install process via task manager.

I have tried a normal install and run as administrator as well. The npcap version that Wireshark is trying to install is 1.10.

I'm having the same issue. I cannot even install an older version now because I get the same error.

Seems to be the same issue as https://github.com/nmap/npcap/issues/104

Installing 0.99-r7 after the failed installation works, but I cannot even install 0.9991 or 1.00 now - which previously worked fine.

I solved it for myself. If anyone else experiences this issue and is working remotely via citrix, not using citrix (directly) might help solve it for you. You'll want the connection to your PC to run via remote desktop, not citrix. If your Citrix Receiver allows for it, establish a connection to a general desktop and then connect via remote desktop to your machine from there.

I was able to reproduce this issue. Worked fine via RDP, failed with error 255 when connected via Citrix.
