OS: Windows 8 x64 RTM (fresh install, no upgrade)Version: nmap 6.25 Windows installerPriority: Low Description:Using the installer for nmap 6.25 to install on Win8, the OS attempts to restart when the WinPcap installer is initiated and will not complete the install. I have not attempted to see what happens if WinPcap is already installed. Luckily I had several apps that needed input and prevented the reboot so the install could continue. Perhaps it would be worth noting on the web page of this; easy workaround would be to have an app like notepad open with something that would prompt one to save or discard their work. _______________________________________________ Sent through the dev mailing list http://nmap.org/mailman/listinfo/dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
