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.
