Re: [WinPcap-users] installer, silent installer
WinPcap does not install in the C: drive, by deafult, it installs in the folder WinPcap in the %ProgramFiles% folder (that can be different from c:\program files). However, some files are installed directly to the system folder, and cannot be moved out of those folders.

[WinPcap-users] installer, silent installer
1. Do installer and silent installer always put program into C drive? 2. In some situations the silent installer reboots the Windows XP computer. How to avoid these situations?

RE: [WinPcap-users] installer, silent installer
The problem is that the winpcap installer does not ask about the installation directory.
