No. Although it would be technically possible (but not simple) to put all
the user level stuff into the executable (and you will need to create
several versions of your executable, since the DLLs for the various Windows
flavors are different), winpcap ships with a kernel driver, that cannot be
embedded in the executable, that needs to be installed separately.

Have a nice day
