If the CACE installer isn't working, or Microsoft-supplied tools don't
help locate the driver, maybe OSR's DriverTree might help find it.
Process Explorer and Process Hacker also might help show the process
that is using it. If not obvious there, try an IRP-based tool, like
Process Monitor or IRP Tracker or FileSpy, to search for who is opening
the WinPCap device.
Unlocatable strangely-installed sofware sounds to me like malware. If
you don't know what is on your box, reformat and reinstall Windows, and
pay attention next time. :-)
Please speak up if/when you find the software that is installing this
driver in a nonstandard way. Someone asked a similar question a few
months ago.
