Hi I'm currently trying to install WinPCap on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 and I see from the downloads page that WinPcap 4.1 beta5 claims to support "Windows Server 2008 (x86 and x64)", however when I actually run the installer I get a message saying: "This version of Windows is not supported by WinPCap 4.1. The installation will be aborted" I've searched the mailing lists, the manual, the FAQ etc and can't find any other info. Has anyone successfully managed to install 4.1 Beta 5 on Windows Server 2008? How about on R2? Windows Server 2008 and R2 are two totally different OSes. 2008 is basically the server version of Vista. 2008 R2 is the server version of Windows 7. At the moment Win7/2008R2 are not officially supported. However you can force the installation by running the installer in compatibility mode for Vista (or 2008). I don't think R2 has any significant changes over the standard Windows Server 2008 that are likely to cause problems for WinPCap, although I could be wrong. It's actually two different versions of the OS, with a similar name, as I said before. So is there a way to force the installation (Or to manually install WinPCap without using the installer) anyway? Run the installer in compatibility mode for Vista or 2008. Have a nice day GV Thanks for your help Kind Regards Ben This email is from Verint Systems UK Ltd and is confidential.
