Add no-install DLL support to Npcap #490

Closed fyodor closed 3 years ago

fyodor commented 9 years ago

The idea here is to allow Npcap to load it's driver on an as-needed basis when an application which needs it loads the DLL. Presumably it could unload when not needed too. Riverbed used to sell a "WinPcap Pro" version with this feature (among others), though they've discontinued that product. This should prevent wasted resources from having the driver running all the time when unneeded.

I'm closing this because we really need to discuss it more to determine what we're really getting at.
