Re: npcap 0.99R1 installer won't install on Win 7 32-bit

Michael,

Thanks so much again for reporting this. I confirmed that we mistakenly
took out the portion of the installer that stores the result of the 64-bit
check, so all checks were assuming 64-bit. We'll test properly on 32-bit
Windows and get a fix into the next release this week.
